'Listen to the music of the poem' says Adrian Mitchell, compiler of this welcome reprint (first published in 1989). From the opening bars of John Agard's 'Who is de girl?', with pieces by the likes of McGough, Edwin Morgan, Blake and George Barker, through to the Navajo Indian 'Nightway' finale, his invitation is hard to resist. Equally irresistible is hard to resist. Equally irresistible is his invitation to compose. Additional inspiration is provided by the illustrations built up in overlaid blocks of airbrush colour which have a liveliness and movement of their own.
