Strange Music of Bone
'Strange Music of Bone' takes its title from the poem 'William Barnes walks his Parish'. Imaginatively, the poet, a Dorset parson like the dialect poet Barnes, explores the bones of our ancestors and continues with an assortment of present-day characters, some rather eccentric. These poems' gentle humour and sane humanity lead in Part 4, 'Against the Beast', to the excoriation of the inhuman capitalist forces that murdered Ken Saro-Wiwa. A magnificent final poem 'By-Pass', for the Newbury road protesters, completes the subterranean theme running under the book.
