Just who is Derek Meins? . In his own words: "A famous poet. In a past life, he was the deranged, howling vocalist for the cult band Easter Lane, who were signed to Rough Trade. What's he doing now? Still howling, but going at it on his own from his base in Brighton. He's avoiding the singer-songwriter niche, though - he's part musician and part performance poet, and a lot more eccentric than many of the other performers wielding battered acoustic guitars. In this guise, he's been signed to the 1965 label, which also brought us the View. And live shows are where the songs really shine - performance showcases Meins' theatrical side. Many of his songs are introduced with witty monologues that often spiral into wild rantings. If you want to hear him in your living room, check out his current single Flicker of Light, and you can hear four tracks at myspace.
The Schooner 'Flight' by Derek Walcott. In idle August, while the sea soft, and leaves of brown islands stick to the rim of this Carribean, I blow out the light by the dreamless face of Maria Concepcion to ship as a seaman on the schooner Flight. There's a fresh light that follows a storm while the whole sea still havoc; in its bright wake I saw the veiled face of Maria Concepcion marrying the ocean, then drifting away in the widening lace of her bridal train with white gulls her bridesmaids, till she was gone. I wanted nothing after that day. Across my own face, like the face of the sun, a light rain was falling, wih the sea calm.
Tennyson, poet emeritus of England during the latter half of the 19th century, has composed a number of classic poems that deserve careful reading. Ulysses, possibly his most anthologized poem, begins at the end of Odysseus’ life after the events of Homer’s Odyssey. His most famous lay was Horatius, a ballad that recounted the legendary courage of an ancient Roman army officer, Publius Horatius Cocles, who was lauded for making a stand with two comrades, and then alone, against a horde of advancing enemy Etruscans. A great warrior is guided by an inner light of virtuosity and generosity. A great warrior knows that suffering contains purpose.
