John Agard has been broadening the canvas of British poetry for the past 35 years with his mischievous, satirical fables which overturn all our expectations. In this collection, he puts on the mask of Moses Maimonides (aka the Rambam), the Medieval Jewish rabbi and physician who wrote his 'Guide of the Perplexed' in Arabic at a time when Judaism, Islam and Christianity cross-fertilised each other in Moorish Spain.
