Eighty poets show their colours with passion and caustic wit as they advocate personal and political revolutions. Colin Watts rages about civil rights, Jean Sprackland mocks our two-faced Welfare State, Tess Lomas advocates alternative forms of conception. Irish emigration, the complexity of racial oppression, disabling prejudice, injustice, hypocrisy and greed are all confronted head-on in this pugnacious anthology.
