Obsequy For Lost Things consists of three prose-poetry sequences. The first two share the setting of the Thames estuary. They all share, however, like the author's previous collection of prose-poetry sequences (from Skylight Press) Interlocutors of Paradise, and his The Hoplite Journals, a concern with history and the psychology of colonialism. As such they also confront, in the defeat of colonialism, what Martin Jacques called the most important event of the 20thC. An event, involving the attempt to brutally resist it, which coming-of-age British poets in the 1960s didn't confront, and which A.
