Richard Lawson is a retired GP , Green thinker and activist who
lives in the Mendips. In the Key of Blue covers an unusually wide
range of subjects and of forms. Influences range from the
Metaphysicals, especially Donne, Vaughan and Herbert, to Browning
via Eliot and Pound to contemporary poets at open mic sessions in
the West Country. Philosphical and meditative pieces rub shoulders
with performance poems, humour and satire. Time is a frequent
theme, sometimes presenting in ways that cheat its usual
constraints, and consciousness of uncheatable death is never far
from the surface. The author was a general practitioner and
psychiatrist in a Somerset village, so occasional doctorly
observations pop up. A lifetime of political and environmental
activism is expressed in deeply felt responses to news and images
of war and oppression. This collection will reward those who like
their poetry chewy and thought-provoking.
