The Faber Book of Vernacular Verse by Tom Paulin
Mixing poems by known authors with anonymous material - work songs and street cries, nursery jingles, graffiti, lyrics of suffering and celebration, charms and chants - Tom Paulin's anthology speaks for an alternative tradition, one that nimbly and defiantly opposes the 'Parnassian official order' which still dominates our culture.
Tom Paulin was born in Leeds in 1949 but grew up in Belfast, and was educated at the universities of Hull and Oxford. He has published nine collections of poetry, of which the most recent is Love's Bonfire (2012), as well as several critical works including The Day-Star of Liberty: William Hazlitt's Radical Style (1998) and Crusoe's Secret: The Aesthetics of Dissent (2005).
