Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Steadman, Ralph (illustrator). Tell Me Lies is a rampaging last collection by the late and much lamented Shadow Poet Laureate. The title-poem is a 21st-century remix of his celebrated anti-war poem, To Whom It May Concern (Tell me lies about Vietnam), first performed at the anti-Vietnam War protest in Trafalgar Square in 1964. Much and nothing has changed since then, and Mitchells new (now sadly final) poems are just as powerfully relevant 40 years on. Completed just before his death, the book is quintessential Adrian Mitchell with visions of war and peace, celebrations, elegies, daft adventures, and exuberant outbursts like his version of Beowulf told from the point of view of Grendel the Swamp Monster. His poetrys simplicity, clarity, passion and humour show Adrian Mitchells allegiance to a vital, popular tradition embracing William Blake as well as the ballads and the blues. His most nakedly political poems about war, Vietnam, prisons and racism became part of the folklore of the Left, sung and recited at demonstrations and mass rallies. His childlike questioning was a constant reminder from the 60s onwards that poetry is first and foremost an assertion of the human spirit. A pacifist prophet who remained true to his heartfelt beliefs, Mitchell reported back for half a century from a world blighted by war, compromise, double-talk and pragmatism without losing his innocence, integrity and impish sense of humour. Angela Carter described him as a joyous, acrid and demotic tumbling lyricist Pied Piper determinedly singing us away from catastrophe. Now out of print, the whole collection is included in Come On Everybody: Poems 1953-2008. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First edition, signed by the illustrator in pen to title page; containing around 100 in-text and full page illustrations and small flourishes by Ralph Steadman; publisher's black cloth, spine lettered in silver, a very good copy with original typographic dust-jacket in very good condition with price scribbled out in pen; 263pp. If the scrawled title on the dust jacket doesn't give it away, this edition throwing together Adrian Mitchell's poetry and Ralph Steadman's imagery is arresting, fast, irreverent, and, at times, messy. It comes at you from every angle. Available in first edition in very good condition with the illustrator's signature. Adrian Mitchell was well known for his anti-establishment poetry and as a noted figure in the British left. Ralph Steadman's images and scribbles are equally satirical, incorporating Christian, capitalist, and nationalist imagery in ways equally humorous as harrowing. The eponymous Beauty Douglas is the name of a Black South African girl who died before she turned one month old, buried in the children's graveyard in Dimbaza, South Africa, 'where women & children who are not needed by the white economy are sent'. The foreword describes her grave, littered with rubbish among hundreds of other young children's graves, featured in the film Last Grave at Dimbaza (1974).
