Crocodiles and obelisks are ancient symbols of empire. The poems in
Jamie McKendrick's astonishing new collection sift the debris of
power and range from Mussolini's Italy and Franco's Spain to the
Belgian Congo and to the Roman, the Austro-Hungarian and British
empires. But 'crocodiles' and 'obelisks' are also terms used for
newspaper obituaries - for tributes which either monumentalize the
dead or shed false tears for them. Crocodiles & Obelisks is
McKendrick's most individual work to date, and experiments with
different ways of remembering, offering conclusions that are both
cunning and drole.
