Overview

This anthology has 61 poems from the hundred-plus published in the Morning Star between January 2023 - August 2024. Poems published in the Morning Star refer constantly to the need to remove the barriers still linked to class, gender, race and ethnicity and their continued manipulation by neoliberal political elites in order to retain their own class power. This can be read in the Morning Star through its news coverage and political analysis but also in the kind of poems gathered below. 'Below' is indeed where many of these poems originate and reach out from, the common everyday reality of life under capitalism - from 'us' - the democratic 'many'. In a century from now the truth of the social, political and literary history of the last eighteen months will be found in anthologies of left poetry such as this rather than the memoirs of neoliberal politicians and the podcasts of the paid spin-doctors and apologists these rogues surround themselves with today, as they always have.
