Paperback. Condition: New. Road Trip is a striking first collection by a poet with illuminating and entertaining stories to tell, and an accomplished craft in using traditional and contemporary forms. As a poet of Jamaican heritage, born and raised in north London and now working as a teacher, father of mixed race children, living in south Wales, Marvin Thompson brings together all those passages of place and time in fresh and revealing ways. He explores the underbelly of race and empire in uncovering and inventing stories of his father's time in the British army. He writes with feeling of the post-industrial landscape of Wales and wonders whether this is a place he can bring up his children - though one should never assume that Thompson's poems are factually true. He uses sonnet, adapted villanelle and sestina sequences to tell utterly contemporary stories. Thompson has a refreshing, curious and honest eye that transforms and illuminates the everyday into something special and unique, but also a convincing vision of possibility. …

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rooms is a collection that refuses to stand still. These poems crackle with music and sport, with birdsong and weather, with the daily negotiations of belonging. Thompson turns each room he enters - domestic, historical, political - into a site of challenge and celebration, exposing the fractures beneath the floorboards and the beauty that insists on breaking through.Fatherhood sits at the centre of the collection, being Black and bringing up Mixed Race children in Wales, negotiating tenderness, vigilance, and the quiet work of protection. Nature threads through the poems as both solace and witness, its landscapes carrying the marks of history. The legacy of the British Empire presses in, shaping daily experience and national memory. Sport and music surface as the rhythms of community, aspiration, and escape, grounding the poems in lived culture. Together, these themes build a portrait of what it means to be Black and British today: complex, joyful, contested, and always in motion.
