In To the Barricades we move back and forth between historical and contemporary scenes of revolt, from nineteenth-century Parisian street barricades to twenty-first-century occupations and street marches, shifting along the active seam between poetry and revolution.

In To the Barricades we move back and forth between historical and contemporary scenes of revolt, from nineteenth-century Parisian street barricades to twenty-first-century occupations and street marches, shifting along the active seam between poetry and revolution. At once elegy (poems dedicated "to" past revolutionary figures and scenes) and a call for renewed struggle in the here and now, this collection of "social lyrics" and serial explosions seeks to drive apathy from the field and to recover forgotten "radical ideas" amidst our current "amnesiac condition." Avant-garde technique is donated to lyric ends (the expression of social affects), as Arthur Rimbaud presides and the commune is reconvened in Vancouver's streets.
To the Barricades continues Collis's "life" poem, "The Barricades Project," which also includes Anarchive (2005) and The Commons (2008). Both the anti-archive of the revolutionary record and the dream of a once and future "commons" upon which all can equally dwell continue to shape these poems where words are hurried bricks thrown up as "barricades" in language.
"Dear effects of / tireless treason / the social only / shuffles if you / move your feet / we've learned this / in a place invaders / called Vancouver / even if we are only / a few and even if / it rains on the day / of the demo"
