In this short poem packed with imagery the poet examines the nature of emotion in art and contrasts it with the modern viewer’s sensibilities.

In this piece the poet examines the nature of time and the totality of human life comparing it to the greater universe through the achievements of an unnamed poet.

A brave narrative poem that deals honestly with issues of fundamentalism, placing them – vitally – in a human context. The poetic voice, like the protagonist – and like his brother who we never hear – is nervous but determined. An important, modern piece of writing.
