The Untold Legacy of an Immigrant's American Adventure

Searching for Charles

Golan Haji

Tree Whose Name I Don't Know

Filled with true, resonant stories of East London life from the ancient to the modern. Ancient Sunlight focuses most intently on the dying habits of the 20th-century as they are swept aside by an onslaught of gentrification; only the latest development in the story of Whitechapel, the first stop east of the heart of London. Stephen Watts steps into the histories of his home borough and finds his way through two thousand years of incredible change.

Ancient Sunlight

Poetry. REPUBLIC OF DOGS/REPUBLIC OF BIRDS is the first book-length prose text by poet and translator Stephen Watts. The text was written on a typewriter in the late 1980s, then mislaid and lost. Found again in 2012, it was typed onto a laptop with minimal editing. The narrative moves between London's Isle of Dogs and Scotland's Western Isles, where Watts lived and worked as a shepherd. It is both a topographical journey through two landscapes and a highly personal meditation on the history and memory of these locations. Watts is interested in the changing landscape of London's East End: the destruction of working- class culture and its collective memory and the pace of urban development and regeneration. The writing is itself a form of activism, memorialising a lost culture through its physical traces and the stories and voices of its inhabitants.

Hannes Schüpbach

A multimedia installation meditating on the lived spaces of a legendary London poet In this two-volume publication, Swiss filmmaker Hannes Schüpbach (born 1965) responds to the lived spaces of the London-based poet and translator Stephen Watts (born 1952), described by writer Iain Sinclair as "a living ghost liberated from Sebald's fiction and granted a richly posthumous existence, as he continues to bear witness to the truth." The eponymous exhibition, a cinematographic photo installation extending frieze-like over 78 feet on view at Nunnery Gallery, Bow Arts (London), is chronicled in the first volume, and a selection of Watts' poetry, translated by Schüpbach into German, comprises the second. Underlaid with fragments of poetry from Watts' Ancient Sunlight, the 24 snapshots that make up Schüpbach's frieze document the author's everyday life while also highlighting the intimacy of Watts' home as a space of making. Punctuated by translator Jo Catling's essay, this project brings together the art of poetry, translation and photography to create a cosmos of creation dedicated to Watts' 40-year oeuvre.
