Description - Selected Poems by Linton Kwesi Johnson
Part of a major relaunch of Penguin's contemporary poetry, Linton Kwesi Johnson's Selected is published alongside Sophie Hannah, Geoffrey Hill and Derek Mahon, and follows February's Selecteds by Roger McGough, Tony Harrison, Carol Ann Duffy and James Fenton
A selection of Linton Kwesi Johnson's best poems over three decades. Ranging from protests against police brutality to eulogies for departed friends and playful celebrations of urban life, Johnson's use of Jamaican dialect to tackle distinctly British subjects contributed to a revolution in the notion of literary English. This Selected Poems charts the unique literary talent of one of Britain's most influential poets and social critics.
