Agard gives us a Devil's eye view of the world, sweeping from Genesis across time. A sometimes poignant, bawdy, witty, and sophisticated shape-shifter, even sex-switcher, Agard's Devil engages with the mythical world, metaphysics, theology, politics and the arts - and takes us to Wimbledon Center Court and Lords cricket ground as well. He won the Casa de la Americas Prize in 1982 and in 1993 became the first Writer in Residence at London's South Bank Center, who published his book, A Stone's Throw from the Embankment during that residency.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Devil has the best songs,
This review is from: From the Devil's Pulpit (Paperback)
This is a fine collection of poems. Agard takes on everything from what really happened with that famous bit of fruit to a certain well known actor's indiscretions and with a characteristic combination of playfullness and perception does the whole of history from the devil's pulpit. It's entertaining, thought provoking, and yeah, well, why not just read it for yourself. If you haven't read anything by Agard, you're missing out.
