Against the Current - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In his new collection, 'Against the Current', Hampton contends that poems should act as witnesses to their time and that poets, above all, cannot: ignore the silences that shut so many people in. The poems in this three-part book, whose axis is London and Middle England, but whose range is much wider, with a time span from classical Rome to this morning's news, breathe and embody the urgency of the poet's essential task today: to resist acquiescence and stand Against the Current.
