The Chaucer Studio Press published his pronunciation guide to Barnes’ poetry in 2010, and (in collaboration with K. K. Ruthven) he is preparing a 3-volume critical edition of Barnes's complete poems for Oxford University Press.

“Bageye at the Wheel”

  A talk by Colin Grant about his latest book

Colin Grant is a historian and BBC radio producer. He is the author of Negro with a Hat, a biography of Marcus Garvey and I&I: the Natural Mystics, a group biography of the original Wailers, Marley, Tosh and Livingston, which has been hailed as one of the best music books of 2011. “Bageye at the Wheel” is his latest book – A compassionate but unsentimental tale rich in comic observation, of growing up in a provincial town of immigrants – Irish, Asian and Caribbean – rubbing along amicably and sometimes not so amicably with their English hosts.
