The Voice Thrower is from a batch of long poems begun in the 90s,
arising in my "anti poetry" phase. The title should speak for
itself, except it doesn't, which is the whole point of being a
voice thrower. The poem had a twin, The Submissive Bastards,
initially sharing the trope of a red sky at dusk, but TVT's sky
turned into a horizon at sea, specifically from Portland looking
west across Lyme Bay (Portlanders call it West Bay anyway). While
The Voice Thrower's bastard twin became more controlled, TVT grew
ever wilder until, while trying to round it off, I began to suspect
the poem was an unconscious attempt to engage with the memory of my
mother (Hannah Lawton), yet I resisted making this the focus and
let the poem mutate again, the original trope of the red horizon
(my mother had red hair) spreading rhizome-like through the various
scenarios. The irony though was that the more it tried to resist
biography the more autobiographical it became. -Tim Allen
