174 Title and form from three sources.
1. Reality Hunger, David Shields (USA: Knopf, 2010), whose cover asks, ‘Is art theft?’ The book ‘contains hundreds of quotations that go unacknowledged in the body of the text… However Random House lawyers determined that it was necessary for me to provide a complete list of citations; the list follows (except for any sources I couldn’t find or forgot along the way).’ P. 209.
2. A description of the charge of ‘Joint Enterprise’, taken from https://jointenterprise.co/: Joint Enterprise is ‘a doctrine of criminal law which permits two or more defendants to be convicted of the same criminal offence in relation to the same incident, even where they had different types or levels of involvement in the incident.’ See https://jointenterprise.co/
3. From Living A Feminist Life, Sara Ahmed (USA: Duke University Press, 2017).
Italics in this chapter do not follow the form of the rest of this book, in which italics mainly denote direct quotations as sourced in these notes. Other facts, taken from reports and journals, are not italicised, either for emphasis or for aesthetic purposes or both. Where citations are not made, I have either lost the source or these are not quotations. Some personal reflection is also included in these notes.

Visual Verse is an online anthology of art and words co-founded by Kristen Harrison at The Curved House, and Preti Taneja in 2013. It invites lead writers and then writers worldwide to respond to an image with a piece of writing of 50–500 words, completed in the space of an hour. The Writing Together class of 2018 took part in the challenge. Following the prison protocol on publication, the work of all the writers was published anonymously. Excerpts were selected randomly for this piece.
