Synopsis

In this volume of three parts with distinct moods, Tom Whitaker brings together poetic traditions and lyrical possibilities: Part 1, Shores, reflects on personal journeys, hopes and visions. In Part 2, Shrines and Shadows, writings speak to a world in conflict, with echoes from scripture [Genesis, Luke, Matthew] and the Quran [Surah 113, Al-Falaq or Daybreak], with themes of comfort and reproach, and the frailty of promise and charisma. Arcades: Satirical verses and lyrics that our age invites upon itself. Nothing is safe -social media, video surveillance, lobbying, cloning, more.
