Eyewear would like to let you know that an Anti-corporate Poetry Anthology has been Launched to Celebrate Corporate Watch's 10th Anniversary, February 2, in Oxford.Corporate Watch, the radical anti-corporate research and publishing group, has published its first collection of poetry, in celebration of its 10th anniversary. The collection, This Poem is Sponsored By...: Poems in the Face of Corporate Power, features over 60 poets including Adrian Mitchell, Mario Petrucci, Heather Taylor, Aoife Mannix, Attila the Stockbroker and Todd Swift.
With bold passion and bare faced cheek, the poems in the collection confront the advertising industry, the media, supermarkets, banks, oil companies, consumerism, and the work ethic, and play with visions of what the world could be like if we can see beyond the mall. The collection brings together so many strong voices it feels like a declaration from a strident and colourful movement.
Author and journalist George Monbiot says of the collection: "I love these dark, subversive, thrilling, transgressional poems. Sometimes you need a poem to show you what you were seeing but not noticing. It's a brilliant collection."
The collection will be launched at Corporate Watch's 10th Anniversary celebrations held on 2nd February 2007 at Escape nightclub, Oxford, UK.
The collection is available at a special reduced price of £7 including post and packaging from Corporate Watch http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/
