POETRY REBELLION

Sub-titled 'Poems and Prose to Rewild the Spirit' here is a book of timeless, irrepressible, rebel song. With global pandemics, economic collapse, the climate emergency, species extinction, war, genocide and social injustice all interconnected, how do we face our fears? This galvanising collection of poems spans 4,000 years of human history, ranging from Nikolai Duffy's Against Metaphor and Lord Byron's Darkness, to Allen Ginsberg's evocative Sunflower Sutra, William Shakespeare's Ariel's Song, John Clare's The Badger, Robert Herrick's Two Daffodils, Li Bo's Drinking Alone Under the Moon, W. H. Davies' The Kingfisher and Robinson Jeffers' Carmel Point: 'The extraordinary patience of things!... We must unhumanise our views a little, and become confident as the rock emotion that we were made from.' With index of poets and first lines, beautiful big clear layout and design, this is an inspiring anthology to lift your spirits. 176pp.
