MODERN WORKS 2020
by edenbray
THE FOREWORD .. .
. .. It is the close of the year 2020 and I am sitting writing this on the toilet for obvious reasons. So, what kind of a year has it been?
Yes, what a year we have had. No one has escaped the horror and I am torn between two distinct film images as I sit attempting to sum up 2020 and also introduce my latest collection of written verse which is an anthology of the most momentous year of my 54 year career as a creative writer. Indeed the longest gestation I have ever heard of.
The images I speak of concern what you might consider extreme contrasts. Firstly I can see in my minds eye the much vaunted and late Marlon Brando clutching his bald, sweaty and pigment streaked face, appearing as the ‘madman’ Colonel Klutz in the Ford Coppola 1979 epic Apocolypse Now, which was adapted from the Joseph Conran novel – Heart of Darkness.
‘Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.’ – Klutz
The second image in my minds eye is of the uneccesarily maligned Sir Cliff Richard sitting on the toilet, much like myself currently, as he played a set of bongos while appearing as the talented young drummer and singer Bert Rudge in the Val Guest 1959 satire Espresso Bongo which was adapted from the Saville Theatre stage musical production of the same name. My father appeared at the Saville Theatre around 62.
‘And then answer the question. Does it make your heart flutter? Yes or no, its a yes or no question! No equations allowed.’ – Rudge
Welcome to my world over these past 12 months. I think there’s been horror and there’s definitely been flutter and then please answer the question – So, what kind of a year has it been?
