I believe that his importance ... lies in the fact that he brings a powerful and original set of ingredients to the most important kind of contemporary poetry. His film-making background and engagement with the work of Stan Brakhage changed the speed and the angle of his L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E-polarized poetry. He was the only UK poet to work with David Antin's conversational poetics. His Brummie-styled phonetic writing drew parallels with the similarly individual universes of Tom Leonard and bill bissett, and his class and colour were-and still are, of course-important. The conversations that his writing and being sparked in the 1990s have never really been followed through in British poetry.' -Tim Atkins, from the \u003cem\u003eForeword\u003c\/em\u003e to this volume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khaled Hakim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848616376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848616370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Khaled Hakim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486200639743,"sku":"9781848616370","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d2a6372-0079-4323-98e2-3de00a172d77.jpg?v=1778054318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-the-takeaway-khaled-hakim-9781848616370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
