I chanced to see Old English verse in paragraphs like prose,
obsolete characters redolent of atmospheres we are no longer
encouraged to admit. An ancient tradition, reaching beyond us into
new forms, frames what we might hand over or betray. "The status of
the Underground as an 'imagined village' where everybody knows each
other has brought about stability - and compromised the forward
dynamic written into its charter. This describes, at least vaguely,
the role of the malcontent. No-one is more malcontent than Jordan.
. . . To speak seriously of 'hegemony' challenges the warm
identification between writer and reader which is the attraction of
poetry for so many readers. It launches a critique of
participation." —Andrew Duncan, A Poetry Boom 1990-2010 Must we
conform to the current state of poesy, and thus trade in cosy
arrangements, or might we say instead that now the truth of poetry
is vital and endangered? When the answer to that question is in
doubt, the time has come to find a Trusty Servant.
