Publisher's Synopsis
Place Waste Dissent is a book that takes the aesthetics of poetry as seriously as the occupation and protests that inspired its writing. Having spent three years in the early 1990s occupying properties and protesting in Claremont Road, East London, poet Paul Hawkins maps the rackets and resistance along the route of the proposed M11 Link Road. Through avant-garde experimental text and lo-fi collage, he explores the stake the Thatcher/Major Tory government was driving into the heart of the UK.
