What is Plimsoll Lines about?

"A Plimsoll line is the mark on the side of a ship's hull to which vessels can be safely loaded. The word plimsoll captures at the same time the "unbearable lightness" of the poetic word and the playful metaphor of floating. Some of the poems are organized in suites of two or three poems grouped around themes of wandering, water and wanting. The collection argues in favor of a return to the word and the cultural politics of language, politics and the body in a world dominated by the visual and the mediated. Although the entire manuscript is in English, the writing combines the abstraction of French, the symbolism of Arabic and the immediacy of English, three languages Mousef inhabits."-- Provided by publisher
