{"product_id":"adrian-mitchell-come-on-everybody-9781852249465","title":"Come on Everybody","description":"Come On Everybody brings together poems from a dozen collections published by Adrian Mitchell over five decades, from Poems (1964) to Tell Me Lies (2008). His poetry's simplicity, clarity, passion and humour show his 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 over 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'.","brand":"Bloodaxe Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53406984995158,"sku":"9781852249465-V","price":3.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781852249465_1_6fcc46b0-2202-488f-9698-1a560ad71de6.jpg?v=1778184625","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/adrian-mitchell-come-on-everybody-9781852249465","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
