Hidden Picture - Softcover
Welcome to the poetically conjured up world of Barry Woods, where the sprites of truth, justice and love force their way through the cracked concrete of sink estates and make you think, yes, despite everything, it's great to be alive. In Spaceships Over Concrete the poet recalls childhood games of Star Wars on the mean streets of Birkenhead. We are told - there were some ugly enemies / heading straight to detention centres / or Jabba the Hutt's employmentA". Sadly there will be no rescue by Luke Skywalker to come for this young underclass. The role of the blighted urban and social environment in affecting the transmission of human identity is a theme Woods returns to in, among other poems, Estate, where we see how - coarse brickwork affected heart / at infancy, became a cold father / in need of a visitA". Elsewhere in this collection the poet finds solace, hope and mystery in trees, birds and the natural environment.
