Poems of living and loving from Booker Prize-winning author Ben
Okri. Freedom is the most precious commodity in the world. In this
powerful collection, the celebrated novelist, essayist, dramatist
and poet, Ben Okri, explores the beauty contained in each one of us
- the freedom of our spirit, the child within. He recalls the death
of his father, the sacrifices of his mother, the hidden river of
Edinburgh, falling in love. He writes about Virgil and Mozambique,
about ringing the bell for freedom, the dreams of Calliope and the
full moon. He enters the fifth circle, sings of the roses of
spring, and aligns the pyramids to the magic stars. This is a rich,
joyful, exciting collection for everyone who loves Ben Okri's
vibrant style, and a perfect introduction to new readers of his
poetry. 'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social
visionary, a writer for whom all three - literature, culture and
vision - are profoundly interwoven' Ali Smith'A work of beauty,
grace and uncommon power' Marlon James on The Freedom Artist
