Last Word
Last Word (Pen Press 2009) contains another 50 poems, with a section devoted to the Var in southern France followed by Men & Women and Mortality. A grim humour is evident occasionally but the overall tone is typically direct and bleak.
A collection of 51 poems.
Example poem:
Pickwick to the Rescue.
I crouch in my corner
peering through the bars
of insecurity.
Waiting for something,
something bad
to happen.
Trying to gauge what
enormity would so oppress
me that I would not want
to live.
I can envisage it,
but I cannot tell you.
But if it happens, I think
I will refresh my spirit
by re-reading Pickwick Papers.
Then I will review the situation.
