Description

Poems of living and loving from Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri. Freedom is the most precious commodity in the world.

In this powerful collection, the celebrated novelist, essayist, dramatist and poet, Ben Okri, explores the beauty contained in each one of us – the freedom of our spirit, the child within.

He recalls the death of his father, the sacrifices of his mother, the hidden river of Edinburgh, falling in love. He writes about Virgil and Mozambique, about ringing the bell for freedom, the dreams of Calliope and the full moon.

He enters the fifth circle, sings of the roses of spring, and aligns the pyramids to the magic stars.

This is a rich, joyful, exciting collection for everyone who loves Ben Okri's vibrant style, and a perfect introduction to new readers of his poetry. 'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three – literature, culture and vision – are profoundly interwoven' Ali Smith'A work of beauty, grace and uncommon power' Marlon James on The Freedom Artist
