Om denne bog

Walking the razor edge between grim reality and stoicism, John Barnie once again brings his intelligence, wit and prescient anger to bear on the world we inhabit and the world we are making. In spine-chilling imagery and with a linguistic dexterity that makes words shine, we are taken to a landscape that is exquisite and familiar, yet simultaneously overwhelmed with wreckage and grief. Staring not only into time’s abyss, but into the carnage wrought by human desire for more and more.

Prophetic in the tradition of Robinson Jeffers, but with the lyric compression of William Carlos Williams, whose words provide the epigraph for this collection, Barnie imagines his quiet rural homeland occupied and brutalised in the central sequence, ‘Occupied’: ‘the safety net / so full of holes you couldn’t catch a whale in it […]/ I knew the days of iridescence were lost for ever.’ (‘Iridescence’) While in ‘M.A.D.: The Sequel’ rhymes skip along with an irony reminiscent of William Blake’s use of nursery rhyme metre to convey horror. As the world is incinerated we hear: ‘cry if you must / there was no one to gather / the heart’s dust.’
