I place these poems before the Court of Public Opinion, asking that they not be judged too harshly. Though at times I may be guilty of indiscriminate rhyme, inciting mass alliteration, avoiding syntax, harbouring the odd non-sequitur and writing without a poetic licence, these are but literary misdemeanours, prosaic infringements of grammarian law — a price one must pay for the grand pursuit of translating the wordless conversation of the beyond.
