Description
Common Cause explores the history of utopia, revolution and hope through poetry. Francis Combes' work spans from the Garden of Eden to the French Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall, examining enthusiasm, illusion, heroes, martyrs, saints and sinners. This collection is an epic, a tragedy and a manifesto for the utopian imagination. Translated by Alan Dent, it offers a unique perspective on the human quest for a better world. Francis Combes has published fifteen books of poetry and translated several poets into French, while also publishing novels and non-fiction works. A companion to John Berger's introduction, Common Cause is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of poetry to shape our understanding of history and our aspirations for the future.
