Michael Rosen:

Fighters for Life. Selected Poems.

A collection of poems to make us think about why the world is the way it is, how it might be different and the part we can play in changing it.

----

The writer, poet, broadcaster Michael Rosen has been gaining wide recognition of late with his recent appointment as children’s laureate. This new collection of Michael’s poetry draws together a selection of his most explicitly political work over the past three decades. It includes “Who Killed Blair Peach?” from 1980, marking the death of the Anti Nazi League protester and London school teacher at the hands of the Special Patrol Group. Other highlights include the extraordinary “Songs For The Dead”, a three part poem composed in the wake of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The poems in Fighters For Life have been specially selected by Michael and all proceeds from the book go to the Friends of Bookmarks appeal. They are all introduced with a short essay from Michael outlining some ideas as to what poetry is about and what it can achieve politically.

Michael Rosen is a socialist, children's author, broadcaster, performer and poet. He is the Children's Laureate for 2007-9.
