Linton Kwesi Johnson Knihy
Linton Kwesi Johnson je britský dubový básník jamajského původu, jehož dílo se vyznačuje recitací vlastních veršů v jamajském patois za doprovodu dub-reggae hudby. Jeho tvorba, často ve spolupráci s renomovanými producenty, se zaměřuje na sociální témata a kulturní identitu. Johnson je ceněn pro svůj jedinečný styl a rytmické básně, které mají silný zvukový rozměr. Stal se významnou postavou v literatuře díky svému osobitému přístupu k poezii a jejímu spojení s hudbou.
Pioneering reggae poet Linton Kwesi Johnson revolutionized literary English with his electrifying fusion of oral verse, Jamaican Creole, radical politics and dub rhythms. This major selection of his best poems includes many previously unpublished works. Covering three decades, they articulate the reality of the black experience in Britain, ranging from angry protests against racism and police brutality to moving eulogies for departed family and friends and playful celebrations of urban life. There are classic poems from Johnson's early collections, including 'Inglan is a Bitch' and 'Tings an Times', together with powerful recent works such as 'If I Woz a Tap-Natch Poet', 'BG (For Bernie Grant)' and 'New World Hawdah'.
