This passionate and incisive book gathers together poems written by E.A. Markham under a range of pseudonyms and personae. Exploring perceptions of race and gender, community and identity, Markham steers us in to a world filled with peculiar menace, threats and resistance, all redeemed or repudiated by the force of language. E.A. Markham has written many works. His poetry includes titles such as "Cross-Fire" (1972); "Mad and Other Poems" (1973); "Lambchops in Disguise" (1976); "Love Poems" (1978); "Love, Politics, and Food" (1982); "Human Rites: Selected Poems" 1970-82 (1984); "Toward the End of a Century" (1989); and "Misapprehensions" (1995).
