The Robin Hood Book, unlike a number of collections of poetry, makes you feel included, not excluded. It is also the first time I’ve come across the glorious term “lumpenpoetariat”. Where do we sign? Greg Freeman, Write Out Loud

Provoking, entertaining, moving and heartening, it is an extraordinarily rich selection of funny, angry, polemical, satirical, sad and wise poetry ...a huge and hugely important book... Andy Croft, the Morning Star

Here is a handbook for everyone who wants to make the case against the Coalition. I can’t recommend it highly enough...
