Summary:
"Pioneering poet Linton Kwesi Johnson revolutionized literary English with his electrifying fusion of oral verse, Jamaican Creole, radical politics and dub rhythms. Born in Jamaica, he moved to England in 1963. This is a selection of his best poems over three decades. Ranging from protests against police brutality to eulogies for departed friends and playful celebrations of urban life, Johnson uses Jamaican patois dialect to tackle distinctly British subjects. This book charts the unique literary talent of one of
Britain
's most influential poets and
social
critics"--Provided by publisher.
