From the author of 'Riotous favour'. Controversial poetry, push-back fighting verse of clarity, in the messy world of excuses given for prejudiced bilious bigots floating on their unhealthy thick cream supremacy. Initially NO uses poetry to find ways around inhumane conundrums.

Take this book into your hands. Take these children into your heart. When their mother dies, eight children are scattered across coal country. Children went to work. They did hard jobs, worked long hours, for less pay, and lost not only limbs but lives in the machinery of the industrial age. It was a time before child labor laws or workplace safety rules existed. They trudged on and found happiness in life's little pleasures like picnics and ice cream.

Herald Book of the Year. Mojo Book of the Year. Brett Anderson came from a world impossibly distant from rock star success, and in Coal Black Mornings he traces the journey that took him from a childhood as 'a snotty, sniffy, slightly maudlin sort of boy raised on Salad Cream and milky tea and cheap meat' to becoming founder and lead singer of Suede. Anderson grew up in Hayward's Heath on the grubby fringes of the Home Counties. As a teenager he clashed with his eccentric taxi-driving father (who would parade around their council house dressed as Lawrence of Arabia, air-conducting his favourite composers) and adored his beautiful, artistic mother. He brilliantly evokes the seventies, the suffocating discomfort of a very English kind of poverty and the burning need for escape that it breeds. Anderson charts the shabby romance of creativity as he travelled the tube in search of inspiration, fuelled by Marmite and nicotine, and Suede's rise from rehearsals in bedrooms, squats and pubs. And he catalogues the intense relationships that make and break bands as well as the devastating loss of his mother. Coal Black Mornings is profoundly moving, funny and intense - a book which stands alongside the most emotionally truthful of personal stories.

Excerpt from Duty on Coal: Being a Few Facts Connected With the Coal Question, Which Will Furnish Matter for Thought to the Friends of American Industry Three tons of coal, which one man can mine in ten hours, represent the labor power of a man for his lifetime. Why, then, should we not at once, and as largely as possible, utilize this great power of which we have such inexhaustible stores? Why not avail ourselves of the cooperation of the tens of millions of these willing slaves who stand ready, at all times at our bidding, to be our hewers of wood and drawers of water 1?
