Tell Me Lies: Poems 2005-2008

Adrian Mitchell

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Tell Me Lies is a rampaging last collection by the late and much lamented Shadow Poet Laureate. The title-poem is a 21st-century remix of his celebrated anti-war poem, "To Whom It May Concern." Much and nothing has changed since then, and Mitchell's new poems are just as powerfully relevant 40 years on. Here are visions of war and peace, celebrations and elegies, daft adventures, a gentle explanation of his new job as a Senior Sheep, and exuberant outbursts--like his version of Beowulf told from the point of view of Grendel the Swamp Monster.

Language: English
