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. In The Coming of the Little Green Man, his
eighth Bloodaxe collection, we enter a world of play and parable -
in which the little green man stands for all pesky outsiders - in
provocative poems charged with contemporary resonance. Which box
should the little green man tick on the question of identity? Will
the little green man survive as a minority of one in a multiracial
London? What if the little green man volunteers to give blood to
21st-century humankind? Winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for
Poetry, he brings to bear his trademark trickster wit that bridges
the metaphysical and the political, the comic and the poignant, the
oral and the literary. His Alternative Anthem: Selected Poems
(2009) was followed by Travel Light Travel Dark (2013) and Playing
the Ghost of Maimonides (2016).
