'Archetypes of Doubt' is an evocative, challenging title, and appropriately so. Rob Harle's poetry makes one think, question received assumptions, and doubt. It is said that an Archbishop once told an interviewer he had never had a doubt in his life, upon which one might surely ask, if he had ever had a thought in his life, for surely, is not to think to question, and sometimes doubt?
ReplyDeleteIn this vein the opening words of Rob's book set the tone...
'In the remote village of raw emotions
seduced by the tyranny if time
wheeling photons mesmerise the unwary,
Shamanic visons invade the mind...'
But doubt is not the totality of this work; as a good Australian Rob evokes the land...
'The shadows of the eucalypts whisper
"Wayikarr Marrung"..."Welcome",
this land is holy and mysterious...'
But the substance of this work is wide ranging. Nepal is invoked in 'Tipping Point', then other writers, such as Sartre and Wilde--to name just two are remembered. Like all good poets Rob sense that politics--for instance should be handled like dynamite, nonetheless he can still make a point...
'Travel lightly in this stolen Land
once called a Democracy so grand,
now Ennui and Apathy will suffocate...'
Yes we get the point Rob, but will those who should be paying attention to such things actually take notice?
And so it goes on, with music, the Tarot, philosophy, and memory playing their parts. The environment is strongly featured--as it should be for all right thinking people, and there are lighter moments. In the end I suggest that this is a book we should all acquire, for our own good, and in the hope that we can exert a little influence where it might do some good.
