I Have No Gun But I Can Spit

With the Faber Book of English History in Verse and his collection of poems and parodies, Unauthorized Versions, Kenneth Baker, the Home Secretary, is an established editor and anthologist. In this book he turns his attention to the field of satire and invective. From Dryden and Swift, to Christopher Logue and Roger McGough, English poets have shown a special talent for voicing their outrage and contempt in the face of smugness, hypocrisy, overweening power, philistinism and all the vices and foibles of public life.

Satire & Abuse

Few collections include so wide a variety of epigrams, satire and simply nasty poems as Kenneth Baker's "I Have No Gun But I Can Spit" (the title is from Auden). Selections run from classic Latin (Horace in translation) to Pope and Swift and a good many poets less well known than they should be.
