Author Description

Ever since the late 1960s, Adrian Mitchell has been one of Europe's best-selling poets. His poetry's simplicity, clarity, passion, and humour show his allegiance to a vital, popular tradition embracing William Blake, as well as the blues. This collection, a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, is a tangled jungle of daydreams, pacifist kickboxing, blues reports, animal caresses, songs of the howling desert and hospital jokes.
