It's cricket season in Australia, which means I'm taking the opportunity to talk about modernist form in Sam Selvon's novels, the late Sir Learie Constatine, and UK racial discrimination and legislation. Looking forward to this session at Australian Modernist Studies Conference at @utas.edu.au

"Evans" - RST
Evans? Yes, many a time I came down his bare flight Of stairs into the gaunt kitchen With its wood fire, where crickets sang Accompaniment to the black kettle’s Whine, and so into the cold Dark to smother in the thick tide Of night that drifted about the walls Of his stark farm on the hill ridge. It was not the dark filling my eyes And mouth apalled me; not even the drip Of rain like blood from the one tree Weather-tortured. It was the dark Silting the veins of that sick man I left stranded upon the vast And lonely shore of his bleak bed.
