Novelist, draughtsman, filmmaker, essayist and critic - John Berger is one of the major European intellectuals of our time. For 60 years he has been challenging the way we see the world and how we think about it, in books like ‘Ways of Seeing’, ‘Permanent Red’, ‘To the Wedding’ and ‘A Painter of Our Time’. But although Berger has always written poetry, often smuggling poems inside books like ‘The Seventh Man’ and ‘The White Bird’, this is the first time his poetry has been collected in English.
