Synopsis
John Seed has pioneered a form of documentary poem using found texts - developing the model of Charles Reznikoff, and likewise concentrating on historical events. Previous volumes for Shearsman Books have included two volumes based on the reportage of Mayhew, and another based on the London Blitz. Here he uses reports of tragic deaths from nineteenth-century newspapers: melancholy occurrences, indeed.
