The Next Poems / The First Poems

17.00

Mutabaruka is back in a beautiful book with perfect heft. It feels good in the hand. It offers a feast of creole poetry that sings in the mind. It appeals to Jamaica lovers, Rastafarian scholars, libertarians of all kinds looking to share riddim ravings and reasonings. Paul Issa’s careful and considerate editing of Muta’s powerful songs make the reading easy and the quality paper and print compliment the striking cover and clever dual-design. This book makes a special gift for island lovers and is a tribute to poetry rebels everywhere. Anyone who has heard Muta’s voice on these poems will hear them “in your mind, in your mind, in your mind” while looking at them on the page. It’s a brilliant translation from dub performance to print where little is lost. Professor Mervyn Morris’s two Introductions provide useful context. This double book is a first rate product with authentic appeal for specialist and layperson alike.
