Conoisseurs of the arcane will no doubt wonder what it is about
Plymouth and Buddhism: first Lobsang Rampa, a.k.a. Cyril Henry
Hoskins - erstwhile plumber's son and host to the transmigrated
soul of a Tibetan lama - and now Kenny Knight's repeated
invocations of the Dalai Lama - occasionally accompanied by Ruth
Padel - in a new Book of the Dead. While Nirvana might be hard to
reach in this suburban district of Plymouth, the highlight of which
is a misplaced 19th century fort, it nonetheless reaches the status
of myth in this collection of poems. The Honicknowle Book of the
Dead is where memory, movies, television and 1960s' rock bands
merge into a surreal narrative; it is where Lorna Doone and
Geraldine Monk share pages, where the local poetry scene announces
its presence, and where - in an alternate universe, perhaps - Ted
Heath led Britain into the Common Market, Ted Heath, the
band-leader, that is. For memory is confusion, and being young is
confusing, and poetry is never anything but confusion. Welcome to
extraordinary world of Kenny Knight.
