{"product_id":"alternative-anthem-9781852248239","title":"Alternative Anthem","description":"John Agard has been broadening the canvas of British poetry for the past 40 years with his mischievous, satirical fables which overturn all our expectations. \"Alternative Anthem\" is a live album of poems from books published over three decades, including \"John Agard Live!\", a DVD of filmed highlights from recent performances made by filmmaker Pamela Robertson-Pearce. It includes poetry from \"We Brits\" in which the Guyanese-born word magician gives an outsider-insider view of British life in poems which both challenge and cherish our peculiar culture and hallowed institutions; \"Weblines\" that contains three powerful Caribbean myths of transformation: the steeldrum, the limbo dancer, and Anansi, the spider trickster god; and, \"From the Devil's Pulpit\" that is a Devil's eye view of the world, sweeping from Genesis across time; and, other collections including \"Mangoes and Bullets\" and \"Lovelines for a Goat-Born Lady\", as well his children's books, featuring some of Agard's best-known poems - \"Listen Mr Oxford don\", \"Palm Tree King\", \"Half-Caste\", and \"English Girl Eats Her First Mango\".","brand":"John Agard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280124227835,"sku":"9781852248239","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781852248239.jpg?v=1772487765","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/alternative-anthem-9781852248239","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
