In this large selection by one of Britain's leading poets and cultural activists, the new poems celebrate the divided world of a lifelong outsider, a poet of two tongues, 'Hot Earth' Creole and 'Cold Earth' English.

As a bonus, Hot Earth Cold Earth includes the best work from his last collection, Chain of Days, which has been unavailable for many years.
