KICKING THE PRICKS
By Derek Jarman
University of Minnesota Press | 256 pages | 2010
ISBN 978-0-8166-7450-3 | paperback | $18.95

"Derek Jarman was a genius who, like the gay artists he admired, not  
only lived dangerously (that being queer) but created dangerous art.  
In this time when artistic cowardice (that being marketability)  
reigns, one would do well to read Kicking the Pricks." —Lambda Book  
Report

"The clarity with which Derek Jarman offered up his life and the  
living of it, particularly since the epiphany—I can call it nothing  
less—of his illness was a genius stroke, not only of provocation, but  
of grace." — Tilda Swinton

"The most engrossing book I’ve read in an age...It offers a back-room  
viewof Jarman’s career as well as his musings on art and film...Jarman  
is the sort of troublemaking visionary who one day may be compared  
with Blake." —Time Out London

Derek Jarman (1942–1994), one of England’s foremost filmmakers, wrote  
and directed many feature films, including Sebastiane, Jubilee,  
Caravaggio, and Blue, as well as numerous short films and music  
videos. He was a stage designer, artist, writer, gardener, and an  
outspoken AIDS and queer rights activist in the UK and the United  
States. His books include At Your Own Risk, Chroma, Modern Nature, and  
Smiling in Slow Motion, all available from the University of Minnesota  
Press.
