Lost Transmissions

The poems in David Memmott?s Lost Transmissions speak to the need we have to explore the depths of our own psyches, a need so insistent that many of us would sell our souls to unearth the answers to what motivates our lives?what motivates our actions. The poems express as well the power of verse, how it can help us rise above those experiences that might otherwise be crippling?war, death, brutality, loss of love, loss of voice and creativity, the soul?s variable value, the insecure body and mind never knowing where the doors to understanding are, nor how many dimensions surround us unexplored.
