RADIO NOSTALGIA Arc UK / Irish Poetry series Radio Nostalgia uses a range of personas and historical locations to examine our sense of community and what our lives can mean. Reporting back from the frontiers of conflicts and consumerism, we enter a world mediated through news anchors, oracles and narrators, where often violent simulations of national conviction fall dangerously short of being human. "As palliative as a corpse in a junkyard, ...Radio Nostalgia doesn't relax you so much as it opens a way into wakefulness. With a stunning lexicon, short phrases stuffed with grit, petrol and spleen, Chris Emery orchestrates a complex, resistant music into one to three-beat lines as our 'countdown to armaments'. He refuses to look away from the tableau vivant of degradation. 'It is (as promised) all here for you now', he writes, a twenty-first century so wounded and blout that only the language that crawls over it shimmers with its implicit hope for transformation and redemption."
