The Jottings of a Nonentity
This collection of plebeian poetry covers a wide range of subjects, simply because they are as stated - just jottings. That is, poems scribbled down when at work in London's Docklands (Oceanus's Daughter); clearing St Mary's village churchyard (God's Gardener); sitting on a bank of the River Thames; (The North Kent Marshes); preparing for a barbecue at Cooling Castle, close to St James's Church at Cooling in Kent at dusk, as a ground mist swept slowly over the marshlands (The Ghosts of the North Kent Marshes); or bored at home sitting at my computer (A challenge). Some of my jottings were written as a mental exercise while juggling with the use of words or creating shapes with words - that s...
Dockers' Stories from the Second World War
Dockers' Stories from the Second World War is a collection of several true stories, drawn from Henry Bradford's time as a Registered Docker in the Port of London. Men were often killed and injured during their every-day work on the docks; nonetheless, never was the bravery of these men so tested as during times of war. Henry heard many stories from dockers in his time working the docks but it was their wartime adventures that seemed most vivid. Henry Bradford's lively stories and colourful characters reveal the bravery of ordinary men in World War Two, from Captain Jim Fryer's ship towage work on Calais roads and Dunkirk beaches, and saving lives of survivors from the bombed hospital ship Paris, for which he was awarded the DSC, to Petty Officer Jack Hicks' quieter but equally memorable posting steering a clinker-built boat on a hush-hush job from the Thames to the north-east, his crew consisting only of an inexperienced co-man and an incredibly efficient WREN. This book is sure to appeal to those whose relatives worked as dockers, and to anyone with an interest in London's East End at war.

John Henry: Roark Bradford's Novel and Play
The 1931 novel and 1939 play dealing with the legendary folk-hero John Henry (both titled John Henry) were extremely influential in their own time, but have since then been nearly forgotten. This book unites these works in a single critical edition that helps contextualize both texts in the context of writers, both black and white, drawing upon African American folklore and using dialects along with stereotypical and non-stereotypical portrayals.
