Synopsis

In these new poems, John Agard writes From the Devil’s Pulpit, giving a Devil’s eye view of the world, sweeping from Genesis across time. A sometimes poignant, bawdy, witty and sophisticated shape-shifter, even sex-switcher, Agard’s Devil engages with the world of myth, metaphysics, theology, politics and the arts – not to mention Wimbledon Centre Court and Lords cricket ground.
