Product Information

What is the relationship between poetry and social change? Standing at the forefront of political poetry since the 1970s, Linton Kwesi Johnson has been fighting neofascism, police violence and promoting socialism while putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Audens claim that poetry makes nothing happen. For Johnson, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, writing has always been a political act and poetry a cultural weapon. In Dread Poetry and Freedom the first book dedicated to the work of this political poet par excellence David Austin explores the themes of poetry, political consciousness and social transformation through the prism of Johnsons work. Drawing from the Bible, reggae and Rastafari, and surrealism, socialism and feminism, and in dialogue with Aime Cesaire and Frantz Fanon, C.L.R. James and Walter Rodney, and W.E.B. Du Bois and the poetry of dbi young anitafrika, Johnsons work becomes a crucial point of reflection on the meaning of freedom in this masterful and rich study. In the process, Austin demonstrates why art, and particularly poetry, is a vital part of our efforts to achieve genuine social change in times of dread. | David Austin Dread Poetry & Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson & the Unfinished
