Martin Locock - Carefully Chosen Words
This a collection of Martin Locock's elegant and
thoughtful poetry includes Ancient Greek and Biblical stories
re-told with a contemporary sensibility.
Memory -
Keystone of civilisation,
Of all progress -
Is underwritten by paper
Other poems address moral questions or evoke specific states of mind.
No fire warmths the hearth
The guardians have departed
They left the gate
Hanging open
A series of topographic poems and travel notes link places to events,
describing landscapes alive with meaning and history.
And if once the chain should fall
Allowing us to move to other, better, places,
Still the evening wind would blow
Bringing the scent of far bazaars
The range of forms and subjects is broad, extending to witty and precise parodies of Philip Larkin, T S Eliot and Adelaide Crapsey.
Melpomene's such
A drama queen, dressed in black,
Veiled, gloved and stockinged
The poems are characterised by a simplicity of language and clarity of
thought, giving the illusion of casual fluency rather than painstaking
craft.
The poems are drawn from those on the Carefully Chosen Words blog.
