Our book of the week is our Spring Recommendation: Hide Me Under the Blood and I Shall Be Satisfied by Keith Jarrett (Bad Betty Press).
"There must be a way of saying that Keith Jarrett writes with an urgency and sense of emergency matched by the climate and politics, that his poetry intervenes memorably in some of the most pressing debates of our times." – Fred D'Aguiar, PBS Selector
In this lyrical new collection, Keith Jarrett wields language inventively, almost mischievously; interrogating Empire, heteronormativity, and the form of the poems themselves. Described by Raymond Antrobus as "one of London’s most radiantly living bards, the embodied poet as storyteller, historian and one-man archive", Jarrett writes of the erased and forgotten in playful, magnetic verse.
