As a poet of Jamaican heritage, born and raised in South London and now working as a teacher, father of mixed race children, living in whitest South Wales, Marvin Thompson brings together all those passages of place and time in fresh and revealing ways. He explores the underbelly of race and empire in uncovering and inventing stories of his father's time in the British army.
