Selah by Keith Jarrett
The Hebrew-derived word Selah appears as a musical interlude in the Psalms, often meaning 'stop and consider', and is used in other contexts, religious and secular. This is the new collection from Keith Jarett.
"lyrically rich poems, charged with emotion, passion and lots of humour" - Sabotage; "clever, insightful, humorous and humbling.. an excellent poet and one to watch" Three Weeks; "astute... witty... charming" - BroadwayBaby; "articulate, erudite and well-informed... his beat reminiscent of Linton Kwesi Johnson and the dub poets of the eighties, of rap artists emergent since the nineties, and - of the most celebrated poets of the twentieth century." - BroadwayBaby; "Keith Jarrett's poems combine a rhetorical purposefulness with a smart and adventurous imagination" - Jack Underwood, on I Speak Home
