Description
Poetry. "What was the shock like reading T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land when it was published in 1922. I think I know. I've just read Douglas Oliver's epoch-making long poem, Penniless Politics. I never thought I would ever read anything like it in the 1990s. Penniless Politics sets the agenda for the next 20 years."—Howard Brenton, The GuardianTags
