Beskrivning
Part memoir, part meditation on the art of poetry and what it is to live and work as a poet today, The Way of the Poet by Roy McFarlane forges a powerful and visionary path, exploring how reading and writing shapes us, our imaginations, and the world around us.With reflections on the personal, political and radical nature of writing in troubled times, this is a ground-breaking book from one of the new millennium’s most inspiring writers. Through poetry activism and writers such as Audre Lorde, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Linton Kwesi Johnson, via Jazz and Bruce Lee, to the Windrush generation and Black British history, McFarlane finds the catalyst to keep writing. His deeply moving journey reflects how literature and community can sustain us, and how love, peace and justice can fundamentally sit at the heart of our words.

Praise for Living by Troubled Waters:“Roy’s poetry has always been about history and liturgy, outrage and melody, meditation and agitation wrapped up in careful metrics of love… His sense of the UK’s black heritage and his insistence that it must be recognized power his sonorous poems. If there is a seer in current poetics, someone who stands before an audience that shouts, ‘preach’ and that person delivers passionate compositions that cry for justice and champion the disenfranchised, destroyed and silenced, then surely, our best candidate is Roy.” - Fred D’Aguiar“Behold the poet building his house of language on altars to the dispossessed, the underserved, the marginalised, the survivors of empire: you cannot quit such radical urgency. You cannot tune McFarlane’s lyrical anguish or adoration out of your system: it lingers in the blood, like soul music, like good Jamaican Sunday lunch.” - Shivanee Ramlochan“Roy McFarlane has created one of the most affecting and original explorations of race in modern times.” - Antony Owen
