About the Work Devil, Maggot and Son is an early poetic work by Christopher Logue, written in his distinctive, experimental style. The text reflects the post-war British avant-garde, blending satire, mythic imagery, and political undertones. As with much of Logue’s early poetry, the work challenges conventional narrative structures and explores themes of power, rebellion, morality, and transformation. This publication belongs to the circle of small-press, modernist British poetry of the 1950s, a period marked by innovation and literary risk-taking. About the Author Christopher Logue (1926–2011) was a British poet, playwright, and political activist. He is best known for his long-term poetic reworking of Homer’s Iliad, published under the title War Music, widely regarded as one of the most original poetic projects of the late 20th century. Logue was closely associated with the British literary avant-garde and contributed to poetry, radio, theatre, and film. His early works, such as Devil, Maggot and Son, are now increasingly scarce and sought after by collectors.
