Grandfather's Old Bruk-a-down Car by John Agard
A collection of poems which explore people's devotion to their most treasured possessions, such as Auntie Nell's lucky suitcase, Ma Flo's rocking chair, and Grandfather's pride and joy - his bruk-a-down car.
John Agard was born in Guyana and emigrated to Britain in 1977. He has worked as an actor and a performer with a jazz group and spent several years with the Commonwealth Institute, travelling all over Britain giving talks, performances and workshops. He has visited literally thousands of schools. His poem 'Half-caste' is on the AQA English GCSE syllabus, and every year he tours the country performing with other top poets for GCSE students. He lives in Sussex and is married to Grace Nichols, herself a respected Caribbean poet.
