Description
Tony Harrison's v. is a powerful poem that explores themes of anger and alienation in the face of social injustice. Written during the Miners' Strike of 1984-85, the poem was sparked by the vandalisation of his parents' grave with obscene graffiti. The resulting work is a confrontational and unflinching portrayal of one man's response to the events that unfolded. This new edition of v. includes not only the poem itself, but also a range of supporting materials, including photographs, press articles, letters, reviews, and a transcript of phone calls logged by Channel Four on the night of the broadcast.
