"What a wonderful premise you build this poem around".
"I like this, it relates to the world today"
"A disturbing poem. The disconnect is cleverly crafted to bring in an element of disturbed mind and the computer disorder."
The poet is also an actor, once reviewed as “just as hilarious as anything you would see at the Royal Shakespeare Company” - and the cast of characters here is a clue to this. Here comes Lot’s wife, arguing with her husband that she has a perfect right to look back at the city of Sodom if she wants to; a tribal ritual in every High Street ear-piercing shop; people in the desert desperately hauling giant statues of themselves; Daedalus getting his idea for making wings from a suicide jumping from a bridge; a father listening to his daughter's music practice and travelling through the sounds to his own less-civilised childhood; Soviet youths addicted to jazz records printed on old x-ray plates. Hannaway has a respectful disrespect for tradition - villanelle, ballad form, free verse, the lot. His mind is a maelstrom in a souvenir mug, and that's just how he likes it. this book has not been tamed; it comes from a mind and a heart, not from a campus writing course. Approach at your own risk.
