Publisher's Synopsis

When Markham arrived in the UK from Montserrat in 1956, he wanted to be a pop star; his family hoped he would become an academic. As it was, it was in the less lucrative field of poetry that Markham established his reputation. This book offers a humorous look on Black life in Britain. It also presents an account of his travails in the rag-trade.
