Time Come: Selected Prose (Picador) by Linton Kwesi Johnson assembles decades of the trailblazing poet’s prose writing, gathering speeches, articles, critical reviews, obituaries on fallen comrades, and more. An indispensable pillar of British Caribbean literature, Johnson’s poems define generations of thought, activism, and resistance. Time Come is a blueprint for the writer’s consciousness and politics, set against the backdrop of a United Kingdom in rocky self-determination. Writing through and against racism, xenophobia, and class warfare, Johnson’s prose is as engaged, laser-sharp, and relevant as his iconic poems. Time Come includes an introduction by globally renowned race theorist Paul Gilroy.
