<\/div>\n

Graham Hartill on Rhapsodies<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Rhapsodies<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is a pretty wide book I think, a selection from a decade\u2019s work; it contains nine sequences on themes as varied as visits to Neolithic settlements, my work as a writer in prison, and reflections on the work of the great post-jazz pioneer Albert Ayler. Supporting all of this is my understanding of Ernest Becker\u2019s considerations of culture, power and mortality seen from a broadly Buddhist perspective.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Why the title? Well, I love the word, and I recently discovered it\u2019s meaning as: \u2018stitch-songs, improvised on various elements of epic poetry. An emotional, perhaps even ecstatic utterance.\u2019<\/i>\u00a0Perhaps it\u2019s to do with times, or the time of my life, but I guess I wanted to include some passionate work on what\u2019s important. Don\u2019t we all?<\/p>\n

My thanks to Tessa Waite for her beautiful drawings and all the other collaborators, knowingly or not, who have helped stitch it all together.<\/p>\n
