One of the great ¢undiscovered¢ post-war British poets, Nigel Gerrans¢ sixty-year creative journey was marked by personal reflection, piercing observation and eclectic spirituality. This generous selection, made in 2014 by the author¢s long-time friend and collaborator Felix Hodcroft, offers readers new and old the best possible overview of this remarkable body of work.

From the call to action of ¢Night Express¢ to the modern-day tragedy of ¢Patient X¢, from the small triumphs of ¢At Her Own Pace¢ to the biting satire of the previously-unpublished ¢Ballad of Ted and Joan¢, Gerrans meets the world¢s gaze squarely, never failing to ask the ¢necessary question¢ or skilfully articulate its answer. Finally, and in full, there is ¢Song Sequence¢, a unique blend of passion and philosophy that has been a lifetime in the making; arguably the poet¢s crowning achievement.

It Is I Who Speak is a book filled with energy; a fascinating and vital record of a wonderful writer; a collection of poems that will not fail to move and astonish all those who engage with them.

¢Energetic and image-laden ... this is a vivid and engaging collection of poems that deserve to live long in the memory.¢
