Overview

Poetry. Translation. Begun in the North of England in 1981, THEN AND NOW constitutes the first--self-contained--installment of an extended work-in-progress on the subject of history and individual freedom. Consisting of translations, quotations and notes as well as original poetry, the sequence proceeds by adopting and adapting personal, cultural, political, and (not least) literary history in the step-by-step creation of a Borgesian 'imaginary identity'--or mind's-eye view--or a moving picture of both viewer and view. "Father father (not among these necks/All correctly attired)/I a tired head/Among these heads/Who said right out loud, crumpets/In church on Easter Sunday,/Who threw away that sausage./Father"--Jackson, from "Self-Portrait as a White-Collar Worker."
