History from below had arrived at the Oxford high table.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

- I’ve known @martinespadapoet.bsky.social as a friend and comrade for 27 years. Every time he brings out a new book, it’s a big event for me. So it is with *Jailbreak of Sparrows*, published last month — it’s peoples’ poetry & peoples’ history all in one. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724962...
