Full Blood (Paperback, New)

Intelligent, sensual, highly erotic, manly and beautifully mortal - Full Blood is the result of a fifteen-year labour of love. This is literature in its most empowered state, and poetry at its most radical, lyrical and affecting. Full Blood invites you in easily, and then turns into one of those books that you can't put down because it has become your close friend. John Siddique was born in 1964. His discovery of his local library when young began his life-long love affair with what words mean and how they sit together. He is the bestselling author of Recital - An Almanac, Poems From A Northern Soul, The Prize and now Full Blood. He is the co-author of the story/memoir Four Fathers. He has contributed poems, stories, essays and articles to many publications, including Granta, The Guardian, Poetry Review, and The Rialto. The Prize, published to wide acclaim in 2005, was nominated for the Forward Prize. His children's book Don't Wear It On Your Head was shortlisted for the CLPE Poetry Award in 2007. On publication in 2009, Recital was described as "one of the most important British poetry books of the last twenty years" by Lauri Ramey of CSULA. Jackie Kay describes Siddique's writing as "A brilliant balancing act." Siddique is admired for his captivating readings and his infectious love of literature. He teaches poetry and creative writing in the UK and abroad, and has worked with The British Council, The Arvon Foundation, The Poetry School and The Poetry Society.
