Poems fragment and distort, veer in unexpected directions, reconfigure. Playful, often funny, Windmills on Fire is fuelled by anger at the use of language as an instrument of political deceit and military aggression.

Presenting new poems by the adventurous, contemporary British poet Tom Raworth, this collection illuminates the complexity of thought and style present throughout his verse. Noteworthy for their confluence of thought, research, and theory, these poems represent an important touchstone for discussions of British poetry. Several older poems are also made available here for the first time.
