Críticas
No one interested in poetry and theatre can afford to ignore this book. (Robert Crawford Guardian 2017-05-06)
Combines a strong sense of poetic commitment with purposeful political engagement, and literary research all the better because it doesn't feel like research. Harrison's great essay, Facing Up to the Muses, is one that anyone who cares about poetry needs to read and ponder on. Reading his prose reminds us that poetry - whether that of ancient Greek drama, or of Virgil, or of Shelley or of Harrison himself - can, in some of its modes, be intensely political. For Harrison, as for the ancient Greeks, poetry and the polis are linked. (Robert Crawford Guardian 2017-05-06)
Reseña del editor
In this richly varied selection of Tony Harrison's provocative prose of the last fifty years, the great poet of page, stage and screen presents a lifetime's thinking about art and politics, creativity and mortality. In so doing, he takes us on an extraordinary journey through languages and across continents and millennia, from his Nigerian Lysistrata to the British Raj of his version of Racine's Phedre, to post-Communist Europe for the film Prometheus to a one-off performance of The Kaisers of Carnuntum at the Roman amphitheatre between Vienna and Bratislava, tothe peace camp at Greenham Common, and from a Leeds street bonfire celebrating the defeat of Japan by the new atomic bomb to wines made from the vines on volcanoes. A collection of work filled with passion and humour that educates as it dazzles. 'Slangy, rooted, erudite, rhythmic, Harrison is a titan among poets; a unique Yorkshire brew of Auden, Byron, Brecht and Kipling, with a slug of Roman satire.' Independent
