Description
Derek Jarman's At Your Own Risk is a defiant celebration of gay sexuality, woven from poetry, prose, photographs and newspaper extracts. This powerful work chronicles the UK's journey towards liberation in the 1970s, only to confront the terror and pain of HIV/AIDS. Written by Jarman himself, at a time when he was already ill with the disease, it is both a deeply personal account and a scathing critique of wider society. Reissued 25 years after Jarman's death, At Your Own Risk remains a singular work, offering a powerful reminder of how far we have come and how much further we have left to go. This book is a testament to the enduring impact of Jarman's vision and his unflinching commitment to expressing himself honestly. With an introduction by Matthew Todd, this reissue provides a unique opportunity to experience one of the most important works of gay literature in recent history.
