Selected Words and Works of the Youngest Codger, Dread Dibnah - Paperback

by Boston Williams (Author)

Drawing from the lived rhythms of working-class Britain and the cultural layers of the Black diaspora, The Orator crafts a voice that is both local and universal - equally at home on a Handsworth backstreet as in global conversations about identity, belonging, and heritage.

The collection celebrates the persistence of dissenting, street-level commentary and insists that working-class speech, anecdote and patois belong at the heart of British letters. It will appeal to readers of politically engaged poetry, those interested in African Caribbean oral traditions, and anyone drawn to bold, class-conscious writing from contemporary Britain
