John Kinsella's poetic and intertextual reworking of John Milton's
dramatic poem, Samson Agonistes, confirms Milton as one of the many
influences in Kinsella's poetic output. His fascination with
Milton's "tale of conflicted belief, values and desires" is stated
at the outset in the `Argument', and in what follows, Kinsella
echoes many of Milton's themes as he explores how the cyborg Samson
- both a symbol of uncontrolled violence and a pacifist peacemaker
- must come to terms with his participation in his own
powerlessness and incarceration. Stephen Chinna's introduction and
Tim Cribb's afterword are invaluable in setting the central
dramatisation in context.
