Description
A powerful collection of new and recently completed poems by Ben Okri, exploring topics such as the refugee crisis, racism, and major global events. This book brings together many of Ben Okri's most acclaimed and politically charged poems, offering a unique blend of anger and tenderness. Some of these poems have already resonated with readers, including 'Grenfell Tower, June 2017', which was published in the Financial Times just days after the fire and played on Channel 4's Facebook page over six million times. Other poems, such as 'Notre-Dame is Telling Us Something' and 'Breathing the Light', respond to significant global events with eloquence and urgency. This collection showcases Ben Okri's inimitable vision and his ability to express the complexities of our time through powerful poetry.
