Man
A five part collection of poems that re-connects poetry with science; each part is published separately as a set of cantos. Part 1 focuses on physics and cosmology; Part II on molecular biology and the anthropological background, from the evolution of life to the emergence of man; Part III on human experiences which caused consciousness to develop from spoken to written word. Part IV attempts to isolate those events in human history which have moved consciousness forward; Part V dwells on the nature of consciousness and its potential possibilities of future growth.
Working with Britten
"Ronald Duncan and Benjamin Britten were close friends for 40 years. They worked together on various operas including The Rape of Lucretia; and Britten wrote incidental music for Duncan's plays This Way To the Tomb, Stratton and The Eagle Has Two Heads. Their relationship had its ups and downs, just as their professional collaboration had its triumphs and disappointments. The author describes his own shortcomings and Britten's with disarming honesty. But most importantly, he gives a unique insight into the process of making an opera from its inception to the completed score."--Publisher's description.

The Reluctant Tommy
'Ella darling, There are things I have concealed from you up till now that I think you ought to know; things that have turned me from a different person from the Ronald you know.' So, in April 1918, Ronald Skirth, a non-commissioned officer in the Royal Artillery, wrote to his sweetheart, back in England. A year before, Skirth, then just nineteen years old, had been sent to fight on the Western Front. This is his story, the story of a young man who went to war a devoted servant of King and country and returned utterly convinced that war, all war, was wrong and who acted upon his convictions, making a pact with God that he would not kill. This riveting memoir was written fifty years after the end of the war, drawing on his own contemporary diary entries and letters home. Never published before, it affords a vivid, moving and surprising insight into that most dreadful of conflicts.
