As If To Sing - Paul Henry

The Power Of Song, To Sustain The Human Spirit, Resonates Through This Collection From Paul Henry. In 'cave Songs', A Trapped Caver, Haunted By A 'ghost Choir', Crawls Back Through Songs To The Sea; Welsh Soldiers In 'as If To Sing', Pack Their Hearts Into A Song, On The Eve Of The Battle Of Passchendaele, 'for Safe-keeping'; A Womans Grief Is 'unconscious Of Its Song' And A Child Sings 'a Song With No Beginning Or End' As Father And Son Cross A Bridge In The Mist. Like The 'rivers Trick' In Nightlines, 'at Once Moving And Still', Past And Present Share The Same Lyric Moment In Henrys Work, The Same 'torchsong' Of Music And Light.
