Synopsis

A record of sorts, in verse, rituals and poems of a Lancashire village.Poetry is not history any more than history is poetry. Poetry involves tensions in its structures, mythic patterns in its shapes, stresses, compactions and reactions in its language that move it away from historical fact towards a more emotive recognition and logic. This is history reduced and schematised by a single vision, interpreted and potentially distorted by personal feeling. It makes no claim to be 'true.' Poetry falsifies and shapes a different kind of truth.
