Description
Jamie McKendrick's "Crocodiles and Obelisks" is a thought-provoking collection of poems that explore the complexities of power and memory. Drawing on historical contexts from Mussolini's Italy, Franco's Spain, and the Belgian Congo, among others, the poems examine the ways in which empires have been remembered and commemorated. Through his unique approach to remembering, McKendrick offers both insightful commentary and witty observations, shedding light on the often-contradictory nature of tribute and obituary. With a keen eye for detail and a nuanced understanding of human experience, this collection is a compelling exploration of how we remember and honor those who have come before us. With its distinctive voice and thoughtful perspective, "Crocodiles and Obelisks" is a standout work that will appeal to readers interested in poetry and the complexities of human memory.
