Description

Adrian Mitchell's poetry is a testament to the power of the human spirit, with simplicity, clarity, and passion at its core. This collection brings together poems from over five decades, showcasing his allegiance to a vital tradition that celebrates the blues, ballads, and the works of William Blake. Mitchell's poetry is marked by its childlike questioning, a constant reminder that poetry is an assertion of the human spirit. Throughout his career, Mitchell has tackled some of the most pressing issues of his time, including war, Vietnam, prisons, and racism, with a pacifist prophet's conviction and a sharp, acrid wit. His poetry is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity and compromise. With a voice that is both joyful and incisive, Mitchell's poetry has become an integral part of the folklore of the Left, with his most political works becoming anthems for demonstrations and rallies. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of a poet who remained true to his convictions, even in the face of adversity.
