He Claims He is the Direct Heir
Author: Lazar SarnaPublisher: The Porcupine's Quill
ISBN: 9780889842823
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
Lazar Sarna's "He Claims He Is the Direct Heir" introduces a new tone of voice into Canadian poetry. It is wry and droll, an unexpected melange of Jewish humour and Surrealism. Sarna's terse lyrics often have the crackle of a good joke, though usually with grim undertones. The voice often grates and is surprisingly scratchy but then, a covert lyricism breaks through. In his best poems, which jar like a wisecrack at a shiva, he seems to be jesting through gritted teeth. His world is at once homely and weird; its oddity unsettles just because we know it so well. Praise for his breakthrough novel "The Man Who Lived Near Nelligan," stemmed from Sarna's ability to capture the odd, the sharp and the humourous in what appears to be ordinary. "He Claims He Is the Direct Heir," a mouthful of a book title, tells the reader about the richness of heritage through some of the freshest and most playful images the author has yet concocted. Trained as an attorney, Sarna skillfully populates his poems with scribes on strike, unsung trianglists, Herzl's beard, a family of worries' and a Mother who was a jagged top of a can'. We see them struggling, loving, resisting and expecting to inherit what is there and what is not. This is a voyage of the exotic right at home.

Author: Housing Allowances in Comparative Perspective
Author: Peter KempPublisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 9781861347541
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Housing allowances have become increasingly important policy instruments in the advanced welfare states. Operating at the interface between housing and social security policy, they provide means-tested assistance with housing costs for low income households. In the present era of fiscal austerity, such schemes are seen by many governments as a more efficient way to help tenants than rent controls or 'bricks and mortar' subsidies to landlords. Yet as the contributions to this collection show, housing allowances are not without problems of their own, especially in relation to housing consumption and work incentives. This book examines income-related housing allowance schemes in advanced welfare states as well as in transition economies of central and eastern Europe. Drawing on experiences in ten countries, including Britain, Sweden, Germany, Australia and the USA, it presents new evidence on the origins and design of housing allowances; their role within housing and social security policy; their impact on affordability; and current policy debates and recent reforms. Unique in it's depth of coverage, Housing Allowances in Comparative Perspective is essential reading for researchers, students and lecturers in social policy, housing and urban studies.
