Description - Border Crossings: Poems by Christopher Hampton
These poems persistently cross the borderlines of time and place, and history in search of renewal in 'a darkened and damaged universe', where 'the broken imperatives of promise' so often seem to end in defeat. Here, faced by the uncertainties of what is now being described, in the bankrupt language of Western propaganda, as a new world order, the road-maps and signposts that might point us forward are few and obscure. With 'disciplined passion', resisting the brutalist contempt of the 'killers of community', the poems pursue 'itineraries of hope' that enable the poet to celebrate all that 'remains from a lifetime undefeated.'
