Synopsis

Eamonn Lynskey writes of the stark reality of injustice, which is so often part of our dealings with each other. Poems such as 'The Canals on Mars' focus on past brutalities, while our rapacious exploitation of planet Earth is treated in poems like 'Down to Africa' and 'Lament'. Poems like 'Calvaries' lay bare the difficulties of an oppressive religious upbringing. Our response to the sufferings of others and to the ongoing destruction of the natural world is limited by the consuming demands of our everyday lives ('Metsu's Women'). Nevertheless, and however great the obstacles, a response is required, urgently… come, the world must be newmade. It's time.
