Robin Robertsons fourth collection is if anything an even more intense moving bleakly lyrical & at times shocking book than Swithering winner of the Forward Prize. These poems are written with the authority of classical myth yet sound utterly contemporary: the poets gaze -- whether on the natural world or the details of his own life -- is unflinching & clear its utter seriousness leavened by a wry dry & disarming humour. Alongside fine translations from Neruda & Montale & dynamic (and at times horrific) retellings of stories from Ovid the poems in The Wrecking Light pitch the power & wonder of nature against the frailty & failure of the human. Ghosts sift through these poems -- certainties become volatile the simplest situations thicken with strangeness & threat -- all of them haunted by the pressure & presence of the primitive world against our own & the kind of dream-like intensity of description that has become Robertsons trademark. This is a book of considerable grandeur & sweep which confirms Robertson as one of the most arresting & powerful poets at work today. Robin Robertson continues to explore the bleak beautiful territory that he has made his own. His stripped-bare lyricism haunted by echoes of folksong is as unforgiving as the weather & poems such as At Roane Head show him writing at the height of his considerable powers The Times ...

Frantz Fanon's seminal work on the trauma of colonization The Wretched of the Earth" made him the leading anti-colonialist thinker of the twentieth century. This " Penguin Modern Classics" edition is translated from the French by Constance Farrington with an introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre. Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule & first published in 1961 Frantz Fanon's classic text has provided inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since analysing the role of class race national culture & violence in the struggle for freedom. With power & anger Fanon makes clear the economic & psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. It was Fanon himself a psychotherapist who exposed the connection between colonial war & mental disease who showed how the fight for freedom must be combined with building a national culture & who showed the way ahead through revolutionary violence to socialism. Many of the great calls to arms from the era of decolonization are now of purely historical interest yet this passionate analysis of the relations between the great powers & the ' Third World' is just as illuminating about the world we live in today. Frantz Fanon (1925-61) was a Martinique-born French author essayist psychoanalyst & revolutionary. Fanon was a supporter of the Algerian struggle for independence from French rule & became a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. He was perhaps the preeminent thinker of the 20th century on the issue of decolonization & the psychopathology of colonization. His works have inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for more than four decades. If you enjoyed " The Wretched of the Earth" you might like Edward Said's " Orientalism" also available in " Penguin Modern Classics". " In clear language in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage he showed us the internal theatre of racism". (" Independent")." ...
