An intimate portrait of one of Britain's most influential film-makers - a cult in his lifetime; a cult today
There are few more complete examples of an artist's record of their own life than the intimately detailed and beautifully produced books that Derek Jarman created throughout his career.
Seen together they reveal the story of how he gathered, shaped and made concrete his ideas. Containing poetry, drawings, pressed flowers, photographs, scripts and notes, the sketchbooks are part autobiography and part social history, bursting with the energy and creativity of this groundbreaking artist. Wholly private during his lifetime, these precious books reveal the detailed planning - and creative and emotional engagement - behind each of his films.
This book collates the best of Jarman's sketchbooks to reveal his film-making process in more depth than ever before.
Contributions from people closely tied to Jarman's work bring to life the filmmaker's social circle and the cultural climate of Britain in the 1970s and 80s. Excerpts from early scripts, sketches and notes in particular ensure this is destined to be an essential work.

Brings Jarman and his art into fuller and more luminous perspective ... painstakingly edited and strikingly reproduced
