Bloody, proud and murderous men, adulterers and enemies of God
brings together for the first time Steve Ely's recent poetry about
violence. Addressing content that includes the First World War, the
Falklands War, the Rwandan genocide, gangland vendettas, the
violence of children and the process of colonialization that
established the British state, Ely rejects simplistic responses,
seeking rather to expose and understand the roles and causes of
violence. Informed by a wide-ranging vision that takes in Pharaonic
Egypt, York Castle, coal mining, American prison gangs, the Geneva
Bible, neo-Nazi extremism, the Balkans' conflict and the English
education system, the book's survey of human savagery ultimately
finds hope in the potential of ordinary people to resist injustice
and the coercive state.
