Book Synopsis The Shadow of Hiroshima and Other Film/poems by : Tony Harrison
Book excerpt: Tony Harrison has developed a unique form of film/poem to confront the major horrors of the twentieth century. This collection includes the winner of the Whitbread Poetry Award, The Gaze of the Gorgon; his defence of Salman Rushdie, The Blasphemers' Banquet, his four-part poem Loving Memory; A Maybe Day in Kazakhstan; and The Shadow of Hiroshima. The volume was published to coincide with the screening of 'The Shadow of Hiroshima', directed by Tony Harrison, on Channel 4 television on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, 6 August 1995. The introductory essay by Peter Symes, BBC television producer and director of many of these film/poems, provides an insight into Tony Harrison's methods of working in this medium.
