Class Lines and Red Rhymes: A Collection of 25 Poems | Janine Booth (ed)

'If you're lonely, I will call, If you're poorly, I will send poetry' so wrote the Bard of Barking, Billy Bragg. We're all going through it lately, all a little poorly, seasick and shaken by the events we see around us. Words can help, certainly these words can - flung with passion, full of humour, culturally affecting. As the introduction states, these poems 'take left-wing politics to those who enjoy poetry, and poetry to people active in left-wing politics'.

This latest special from the Left Cultures publishing stable, Class Lines and Red Rhymes, is collection of 27 poems complied by Janine booth from the Poets on the Picket Lines. Included within are poems by 27 contributors, including  Janine Booth, Porky the Poet, Henry Normal, Dee Dickens, Attila the Stockbroker and many more. Not only that, the zine is illustrated beautifully throughout by Harry Wyld.

It may be a humble zine, but it is one capable of amplifying the voices of the working-classes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Size: A5 (staple bound)
