Douglas Clark: Disbanded, Benjamin Press, Bath
`Disbanded' is the coda to `The Horseman Trilogy'. It orchestrates the
material for one last time bringing out a lifetime's experience.
The first section `Quartet' completes `The Horseman Trilogy'.
The second section `Disbanded' looks for a new theme. The final section
`Heaven' affirms an old direction. The entire work represents a triumph
over adversity. The individual books are composed of sequences of poems
in which the individual poems bounce off each other as the sequences
bounce off each other as the books bounce off each other.
They are not collections.
The
cover graphics
of my publications may be viewed.
A current selection
of my poems is available.
Some of these poems first appeared in `Lines Review' and `Cencrastus'.
The prose translation from Sophocles' `Antigone' is taken from `The
Penguin Book of Greek Verse', translated by Constantine A.Trypanis
(Penguin Books, 1971), copyright Constantine A.Trypanis, 1971.
