Martin Domleo writer and poet The Desk

http://martindomleo.co.uk/thedesk.html

Is a narrative poem about an old school desk and some of the ink marks and scratches on it made by pupils over the years from Victorian times to the present. In an imaginary way it explores the lives of some of the pupils in the war torn 20th century and draws on the poet's own experiences, both as pupil and teacher. The much admired pencil drawings which illustrate the narrative are by the author. The Desk' is a compelling narrative. A work for all ages. The production is delightful.

Increasing the Denominator

http://martindomleo.co.uk/increasing.html

One might recognise, if this collection appeared without the poet’s name, that this was by Martin Domleo, for it contains all that we have come to admire in his best work. In particular, the painstaking care in lexical choices, the intensity of thought, the telling imagery and the compassionate yet faintly sardonic take on human nature. Everything moves, outside, inside,. Diamond, tungsten, dust. On the switchback ride. Along the curved horizon,. As soon as you’ve said it. Until Rush Hour comes,.

Martin Domleo writer and poet Decelerations

http://martindomleo.co.uk/decelerations.html

Arrived at Euston dead on time,. Walked to the Royal Academy,. Viewed modern masters in their prime,. Discovered Serov and Vrubel. Travelled the crowded underground,. Relived the sumptuous displays. Found Shakespeare’s theatre in the round,. Browsed books in cobbled alleyways. Caught the return with moments to spare,. Sank gratefully into a seat. Purred to the north of Milton Keynes,. Slowed down, slid forwards. Motion ceased. A manager apologised,. Power had been disconnected. Attempted suicide, he said.
