"Black Hole and Other Poems," a new compilation of verse by poet
David Murray, focuses on the role played by hunger for power in
reducing the success of heterosexual romantic relationships.
Divided into four parts, this collection explores the topic in a
wide variety of styles and approaches.
The first part of the collection, 'Poems in a Lighter Vein',
interprets the familiar vampire story as being an allegory of
common male fantasies of having power over many 'brides', and most
of its verses are satirical in nature. The second part, 'Black
Hole, ' contains examples based upon Murray's experiences of the
personal power, all too easily abused, exerted by men over
women.
'Treading Water, ' the third part, describes Murray's feelings
when he found himself forced to compete with a male rival to see
which of the two could exert the most power over a particular
female's affections. In the fourth and final part, 'Bagatelles',
each poem attempts to arouse, in only two lines, core emotional
responses of the kind that are usually assumed to require longer
poems.
Satirical, gutsy and succinct by turns, this book explores the
role of power in sexual relationships and the varying aspects of
that power.
