Description: Addresses the problems of Black Britain. This work includes poems written, while the author was working with Michael Mansfield QC on the Stephen Lawrence case and other high profile political trails. It is hard hitting and blackly funny.
Synopsis: This collection is Benjamin Zephaniah's first new book of poems in five years. It addresses the struggles of black Britain more forcefully than all his previous books. With poems like "Chant of a Homesick Nigga" and "Kill Them Before Ramadan, " he shows that he's a poet who won't stay silent, who doesn't pull any punches, writing out of a sense of urgency and a commitment to social justice. He opens this hard-hitting and blackly funny book of poems with an outspoken comment on where he's coming from, setting his poetry against the political landscape of Britain.

The Scandal of the Season
By: SOPHIE GEE
"The Scandal of the Season" tells the story of the real-life seduction of the beautiful, clever Arabella Fermor by the charming, enigmatic nobleman Robert Petre, seventh Baron of Ingatestone. Arabella knows that girls have been ruined by risking an affair like the one she contemplates - and the object of her desire is flirting with a perilous plot against Queen Anne. Watching the pair with a beady eye is an outsider, a cripple, destined to become the genius of his age - the poet Alexander Pope. "The Scandal of the Season" is a brilliant, witty, seductive modern love-story - set in 1711.
