WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Poet, performer, anthologist, John AgardHe lives with the poet Grace Nichols and family in Sussex; they received the CLPE Poetry Award 2003 for their children's anthology Under the Moon and Over the Sea (Walker Books).
If Agard had not already been forged in the roller-coaster aftermath of empire, there would be an urgent need for society to invent someone like him. -- William Wallis * Financial Times Magazine * John Agard's first book since he finally won the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry is typically cosmopolitan, with one eye on the past and the other on the present...readers - especially schoolteachers and their pupils - tend to love his work... This thought-provoking, puckish, tender book will not disappoint them. -- Rory Waterman * Times Literary Supplement, on Travel Light Travel Dark * In the year when we learnt of the damage and cruelty that the UK's hostile-environment policies inflicted on the Windrush generation, John Agard strikes back with these cleverly crafted parables of an outsider. The little green man's encounters and observations, his mix of wonder and wise caution, are given a voice that manages to be both naive and incisive. -- Maria Crawford * Financial Times (Poetry Books of the Year 2018), on The Coming of the Little Green Man *
