The work navigates complex landscapes, from an imagined Kabul to an alternate Manchester, and considers the nuances of nationalism and border crossing. Through vivid, evocative verse, McAuliffe balances personal household lyrics with broader existential uncertainties. Published by The Gallery Press in 2020, this volume serves as a reflective study on individual persistence within the currents of contemporary history and global change.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-kabul-olympics-a-collection-of-poetry/436923/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-kabul-olympics-a-collection-of-poetry/436923.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Anna

THE KABULOLYMPICS\n\nJohn McAuliffe  \nThe Kabul Olympics is a book of  \nimpossible places,from the imagined Kabulof the title poem to 'City of Trees'whichconjures an alternate,parallel Manchesterin the aftermath of the Arena bombing,from a plane spiralling ever upwards intothe eye of a storm in‘Godsend'to thebecalmed travels of'The Harbours',asequence which reflects on nationalismand border crossing.  \nMany of these poems find themselves inthe dark,on journeys whose destinationsseem uncertain,an uncertainty to whichthe book grows accustomed,teasing outstrands of inheritance and departures whichtake the poems offshore into the heart ofpolitical crises as well as returning to thehousehold lyrics which John McAuliffehas made his own.  \nThis is vivid poetry which pits individuallives and ordinary days and hours andminutes against the historical events andcatastrophes which would blow them away.  \nSBN 978-I-9I133-785-0978I9II 33785o  \nFoyer at Uday's
