Poetry can stick up for the weak according to Michael Rosen, or it can mock the mighty it can glorify our rulers or it can dissect them. You choose. In these powerful new poems Rosen is clear about his own choices. Listening to a Pogrom on the Radio is a book about antiSemitism, racism, Fascism and war, Trump, le Pen, and the Tory assaults on the NHS and education the stupid and the sinister, the ridiculous and the revolting. In his first collection for grownups since Dont Mention the Children (2015), Michael Rosen confirms his reputation as the heir to Jacques Prvert, Ivor Cutler and Adrian Mitchell. Few poets writing today can move so effortlessly between childishness and childlike seriousness, or dare to ask, like the child in Hans Christian Andersens story, why the silly emperor is not wearing any clothes.
