About: Mixing poems by known authors with anonymous material - work songs and street cries, nursery jingles, graffiti, lyrics of suffering and celebration, charms and chants - Tom Paulin's anthology speaks for an alternative tradition, one that nimbly and defiantly opposes the 'Parnassian official order' which still dominates our culture.
