Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. As far as humour is concerned, death is a taboo subject. No matter what we might believe about our departure from this life - whether we are atheists, agnostics or followers of a faith - surely everyone can agree on this: death is not a laughing matter. Well, maybe not everyone. Ever since the practice of inscribing graves began in ancient times, certain individuals have chosen to mark their passing - or that of their loved ones, friends or foes - in a way that is intended to elicit smiles rather than tears, mirth instead of grief. The "Last Laugh" collects together some of the best examples of cemetery humour. From the cowboy graves of the Old West to the gothic headstones of Victorian England, from the tombs of famous actors and musicians to the final resting places of many ordinary people, here is a unique visual record of funny farewells. In addition to numerous witty epitaphs, there are headstones with humorous names, and graves with quirky designs or carvings that affectionately recall some aspect of a life. This book celebrates a special brand of humour, one that is tinged with poignancy and sometimes even with amazement.It is a tribute to the spirit of those who wanted to cock a snook at death - those who were determined to have the last laugh. Collects some examples of cemetery humour, from the cowboy graves of the Old West to the gothic headstones of Victorian England, from the tombs of famous actors and musicians to the resting places of ordinary people. This work also includes headstones with humorous names, and graves with designs or carvings that recall some aspect of a life.

Paperback. Condition: New. The terror slips from its dream image along forest tracks and pathways of the mind,and emerges scrawny, exhausted by a long winter, sniffing at the town garbage dump. For now, the sun may complete its nuclear explosions with impunity out of the reach of slackened jaws. 'a poet at the height of his inspiration.' Michael Symmons Roberts, "TLS". 'a deceptively readable poetry that leaves phrases and images in the mind as the best poems should.' - Gillian Clarke, "The David Jones Journal".This collection consists of poems set in continental Europe, Palestine and Wales. From Spitzbergen to Jerusalem, the poems render different places with physical immediacy, and reveal the historical and cultural forces that have gone to their making. The main unifying theme is the relation between European culture, with its history of violent destructiveness as well as creativity, and images of the Great Mother. It is an ambitious book of poems, which explores the roots of Western civilization and is informed by a sense of crisis in the relation between European 'man' and the natural world.
