Product Description

Patrick Jones's work demands that his audience think, and think for themselves, about the injustices of the decision makers, of history, and of contemporary society, a rare quality in the art and literature of today. Much of his material is dark, and this collection is no exception, but it is also imbued with an eternal sense of hope.

5.0 out of 5 starsTo be avoided by the ignorant if at all possible...
By DPS Lewer on 13 Nov. 2008
This is a fine book. The absurd over reaction by parts of the Christian Church and the pathetic reaction by a Cardiff Bookstore, are a sad indictment of the state of free expression in this country.
The book has enormous artistic value and if people don't like it they are quite at liberty not to read it. But the attempts by certain groups and individuals to stop others from reading it is a disgusting symptom of reactionary Britain.
Everyone should be free to buy this book, read it and enjoy it. Or not. That is what choice is supposed to be about. Let the poet promote his work and let the people read it. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to read it. There are plenty of works by Christians I find enormously offensive and unsettling, but I would never try to stop them from publishing and promoting their work. I simply do not read it.
They have gone too far. And the book retailer who appeased them should feel ashamed. Literature is dead without freedom of expression. I am glad Amazon has not allowed the zealots to influence them in the same way.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood or Bad? YOU should have the choice to decide!
By Pagan Ronnie on 15 Nov. 2008
An excellent book. Both moving and thought provoking. Qualities obviously feared by those 'religious' Bigots that recently 'forced' a main highstreet bookstore in Cardiff to cancel a planned booksigning by the author! This is BRITAIN, we have FREE SPEECH still, don't we? I must admit, I would never have bought this title if it were not for all this publicity caused by the bigot's protests that brought it to my attention, so, for that I thank those same fundamentalist religious bigots for the heads-up :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars'Poetry is your world, huh?'
By Joanne Payton on 15 Nov. 2008
Ignore Sebastian's review: 'poetry is his world' and yet this is apparently the only review he has ever made for Amazon. I haven't bought this book, but I have read some of Mr Jones' poetry and it is certainly stirring and thought-provoking.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy I'm buying this...
By Bi the way on 11 Dec. 2008
I'm buying this item purely to protest against conservative Christian attempts to censor it.

Let the bigots at Christian Voice learn a lesson, the more they protest and scream about "moral outrage", the more publicity they give to the very things to which they are opposed and the more anti-Christian feelings will spread.
