Ken was reared in a family that was unable to give him a sense of meaning and connection with life - something that he wanted and needed. The last two poems in this collection - Cold Turkey and Indifference - convey that situation very clearly. His early years channelled him into becoming a 'detached' observer of life. And yet his poems carry in them evidence of passionate involvement, albeit masked. That he achieves this expression poetically and without any use of rhyme is intriguing. His own comment on rhyme is as follows: Byronic The romantic legacy of yesterday rhyme at the end of lines continues to contaminate contemporary poetry Although eloquently put, this is part of the mask. The real reason for the absence of rhyme bites much deeper and forms an essential part of the potency of his expression. Another very relevant aspect is that Ken is a trained artist. His artistic talents come together with his poetic expression to create pictures in the mind. These pictures move and flow. They are multidimensional, communicating deeper messages than the words might at first appear to convey.
