Shadow Ticket is, to my surprise, my book of the year.
Question: I think this goes back a long way—why is Pynchon so obsessed with electric or non-"natural" luminescence?

Tony Harrison’s poem ‘V.’ is to be performed in the Leeds cemetery that inspired it.
The day of site-specific readings will now also serve as a tribute to the poet, who died last week.

Harrison, who has died aged 88, wrote copiously for the stage, both as an ingenious translator and dazzlingly original dramatist

Tony Harrison, poet and dramatist, dies aged 88
Known for his outspoken politics, the author was acclaimed for work in theatre, opera, film and TV but wanted to be thought of as a poet above all
Tony Harrison, the award-winning poet and dramatist whose writings fuelled national conversations about class, obscenity and politics, has died at the age of 88, his publisher has confirmed.
Harrison, a major voice in British poetry since he published his first collection in 1964, wrote front-page dispatches for the Guardian from the Bosnian war, and scandalised the nation with his 1985 poem V. Written after football hooligans desecrated his parents’ gravestones, the expletive-laden work was described as a “torrent of filth” by the Daily Mail when it was broadcast on Channel 4, prompting an early-day motion in the Commons. It is now studied in schools. Continue reading...

I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades.
Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

While *V* is a work of enormous proportions, a Jerusalem for the 20th Century, this is my favourite #TonyHarrison poem, its unalloyed pleasure in words & feels & oh I don't know, life's textures... If you're new to it, enjoy & taste him with your next kumquat kumquat7.blogspot.com/2004/09/kumq...

Time & clocks were not a new point of departure for Birtwistle. His early tape piece Chronometer (1972) & the orchestral work The Triumph of Time (also 1972) demonstrate an early fascination with the passing of time. He was also to return to it time & time again throughout his career.
