Poetry from New Beacon Books - This is the second book of poetry from John La Rose, a poet, publisher, and essayist. Originally from Trinidad & Tobago, La Rose was involved in the struggle for political independence and cultural and social change in the Caribbean in the 1940s and 1950s and later in Britain, the rest of Europe, and the Third World. John La Rose was the founder of New Beacon Books, the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), chair of the New Cross Massacre Action Committee in 1981, director of the International Book Fair of Radical Black and Third World Books between 1982 and 1995, and the first chair of the George Padmore Institute archive (GPI). “The poetry inhabits the angst, dread, the miraculous marvels of reality that cluster in fire and ash, in the slow burning embers and flame of hope.” An important collection of poems.
