Ballard Michael Moorcock and Marc Atkins.<br><br>This book makes a significant contribution to the growing scholarship surrounding Sinclair's work offering the first critical text that covers in detail all of Sinclair's work: his poetry fiction non-fiction (including his book on John Clare Edge of the Orison) and his film work.</p>
