1/4 OF THE SEA by Arsalan Isa
150 x 211mm, 96 pages, Black & white printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2025
Chatty borders, best-of small boats, smuggler interviews, and a Lonely Planet guide to Europe’s most fortified edges — a cartography of bodies, blame, and broken borders.
Blending prose, poetics, and essay, ¼ of Sea charts the wreckage of migration politics, surveillance aesthetics, and militarised masculinity. Through meditations, monologues, and speculative fragments, it centres on the "military-age male" — a shape-shifting symbol of fear, control, and desire.
A letter to nobody.
A document from the sea.
A poem for the military-aged.
