Description

Roger Robinson's poetry collection A Portable Paradise explores the complexities of human experience, delving into themes of joy, anger, and the search for connection in a world marked by injustice. Through finely crafted poems, Robinson reveals his capacity to tell involving stories and capture the essence of characters with verbal expression. The title of this collection reflects the underlying philosophy expressed in the poems: that earthly joy is often just beyond our reach, denied by racism, misogyny, physical cruelty, and class power. Yet, Robinson's poetry conveys a fierce anger against injustice, alongside an irrepressible sense of love for people's humour, oddity, and generosity of spirit. A Portable Paradise is a feast of poetry that invites readers to carry it with them, wherever they go.
