	24-Hour War - Is Christopher Logue a genius or a madman? By Jim Lewis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Is Christopher Logue a genius or a madman?
		Logue is something else; narrative and frank, but his Homer is as alive as any more modish author.
		But Logue stays mostly with the battle itself, with the flight of arrows and the sound of metal entering flesh.

	If only Homer was bohemian - [Sunday Herald]
		The infrequently interviewed Logue is one of the surviving members of a generation of writers, including his friends Alexander Trocchi and Doris Lessing, who first flourished their pens in a more bohemian era.
		Logue, Trocchi, and the other writers clustered round the magazine Merlin, which they co-produced, were serious and certain about writing’s purpose in a way that’s perhaps unusual today.
		Logue also marched to Aldermaston with the CND and joined Bertrand Russell’s Committee Of 100, “a hundred conspicuous individuals prepared to break the law through acts of civil disobedience” to promote nuclear disarmament.

	Male Accounts 9(2004)
		Christopher Logue's long poem War Music, begun in the early 1960s and still a work in progress, is conceived of as an "account" of the Iliad, both a rendering and a critical counter-reading of the epic.
		In Logue's account, however, Achilles is subjected to highly ideological and highly functional representational framings in the interest of a belligerent power-structure.
		Logue's scenario with the dead standing upright and the living crawling on the ground certainly is ironic in the universal sense implied by Frye.

	Books in Review: The Husbands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Logue deploys Homer's vast historical and linguistic inheritance to create an Iliad that, perhaps for the first time, is not held hostage by a yearning for the lost world of ancient Greek.
		In Logue's version, the erotic suffices as a cause for war, and the conflicting intentions of human and gods are represented as something more compelling than a classroom rubric.
		Logue's Homer has more sense than to weight the flight of his song down with repeated epithets that might have helped a singer of tales to keep the thread and to improvise, but which only clog and spoil writing.

	All Day Permanent Red - War Music Continued by Christopher Logue \| PopMatters Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Logue's method is to work within the original text, excavating it in order to bring to light shards of meaning from which, like a literary archaeologist, he reconstructs entire histories of usage and re-usage.
		Logue's style throughout this book is comfortable and informal, sometimes verging on the terse in its abbreviation, never allowing syntactical complexity to interfere with the smooth transmission of the necessary information.
		Logue's writing is carefully structured here to convey both an impression of the scene described and an embedded attitude towards it, and owes as much to experiments in free-form jazz (making All Day Permanent Red an 'interpretation', in the musical sense of the term) as it does to literary avant-gardism.

	Geometry.Net - Authors Books: Logue Christopher
		British poet Christopher Logue continues his decades-long rewriting of Homer's tale of war with this slim volume, which comprises books five and six of the Iliad.
		Logue's handling of the character is excellent, especially in the way he is introduced.
		Logue's inspired poem is good and perhaps will lead some to Homer himself, especially if this version is heard aloud (as the mention of the BBC suggests), where the power and rhythm of the language can be demonstrated and felt to its fullness.

		Logue's work, and it's a little hard to keep track, but two editions offered on Amazon.com's website, "War Music," and the wondrously titled, "All Day Permanent Red," seem to contain it all.
		Logue writes in a robust verse form that retains the epic language while exploring possibilities for a cinematic look on scenes and situations, as well as opening the field to modern metaphor.
		Logue's don't jar, but rather deepen, and lift the story from some mythical past to something that is played out continually.

		At this point in the story the godlike Achilles remains in his tent, angry at Agamemnon's taking of one of his slaves, and the Greeks and Trojans were preparing for another battle in their long war.
		Logue captures that with lines like "The Uzi shuddering warm in your hip/Happy in danger in a dangerous place." As both Homer and Logue both seem to understand, as terrifying as war is to its participants, it also makes reality even more real even as it slips into an insane surrealism.
		Rather than attempt the unattainable and surpass the original text, Logue instead underlines and emphasizes both the elements we are familiar with and those that we sometimes overlook.

	Giving Strawberries to a Dog, by Stephen Burt
		BACK TO christopher logue began adapting the Iliad into modern English verse in 1959; unless you count Pound's "Propertius", few readers had seen anything like it.
		Logue took outrageous liberties, cutting and adding scenes, varying rhythms (a blank-verse base, short-lined inset lyrics, single ametrical lines), and retooling epic similes with deliberately modern material (rockets, radium, "Rommel after Alamein").
		Homer's gods have little interest in human justice, nor in human constraints, though Homer's mortals persist in believing they do: Logue emphasises their arbitrary quality, at one (for him) with the arbitrary destructiveness - and the amoral thrill - of the violence humans inflict on one another.

		Christopher Logue's unrivalled translation of Books 16-19 of Homer's Iliad thrillingly complements last Sunday's Books 1 and 2.
		First aired in 1981, this remains an astonishing piece of public poetry (alliteration, headlong irregular iambics, and no images you can't catch on the wing), given its apotheosis in Howard's 105-minute solo flight.
		Alan Howard's solo performance in Christopher Logue's version of Books 16-20 of Homer's Iliad is a piece of modern radio to set amongst the best of the classics.

	3quarksdaily: Charles Bainbridge enjoys the latest part of Christopher Logue's reworking of Homer, Cold Calls
		Logue's focus here is on a very modern kind of voyeurism, one that has an instant and global impact.
		But what Logue took to heart so effectively were Pound's technical innovations, his cinematic evocation of place and landscape, his sensitivity to typography, his use of imagery and rhythm.
		The essence of Logue's achievement has been to combine these features with an exhilarating narrative drive and a remarkable sensitivity to the energies of contemporary language.

	rogueclassicism: Cold Calls
		Christopher Logue (b1926) has been working on his acclaimed mosaic of versions from Homer’s Iliad since 1959, when he began with a commission from BBC radio.
		Logue cuts, reorganises and is at times cheerfully anachronistic: the goddess Aphrodite, for example, mother of the Trojan prince Aeneas, is called here “Our Lady of the thong”, while the gods in general behave like a ghastly family of celebrities — and are the least interesting feature of the book.
		It is difficult to convey the horror of violence afresh, but Logue appears to understand the unapologetic, craftsmanly attitude of a warrior society.

		Logue has been working on different episodes of Homer's epic on and off since the late 50s, at first mainly for radio performance.
		There are moments when Logue delights in implicating the reader in an onslaught of almost comic-book violence ("that unpremeditated joy as you / - the Uzi shuddering warm against your hip...
		Here Logue seems far less concerned with immersion in blood than with enacting the different ways contemporary society, and the media in particular, records and presents images of violence.

		Logue is so honest, so hard on himself and his (admittedly plentiful) faults, that it can sometimes make you wince.
		But the honesty is also what makes this a brilliant self-portrait of a man at odds with the world, a natural drifter and bohemian, somehow contriving to survive in a difficult age, and produce some magnificent poetry along the way.
		This is the story of Christopher Logue, poet and literary maverick, who counted Ken Russell, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe among his friends.

	languagehat.com: WAR POETS II: CHRISTOPHER LOGUE.
		Christopher Logue is not exactly unknown, but neither is he at the forefront of many people's consciousness.
		It began in 1959 when David Carne-Ross asked him to write a script for the BBC based on some Homeric excerpts; not knowing Greek, Logue worked from existing translations, absorbing the story, the ideas, the similes, and reworking them into language that is as fresh and vivid as anything written in my lifetime.
		It is this care in re-creating literary effects that makes Logue's work the very thing he refuses to say it is: the best translation of Homer since Pope's.

		In The Husbands, Logue trains his lyrical eye upon Homer's ultimate femme fatale, Helen of Troy, and her ardently mortal husbands, Menelaus and Paris.
		Carrying the Homeric world into our own, Logue's language is at once musical, profoundly tender, and frighteningly graphic.
		"[Logue] has captured this terrible rhythm: the inarticulate quickstep of war punctuated by a rolling lyric that always flies below its hope of transcendence.

		In his brilliant rendering of eight books of Homer's "Iliad, Logue here retells some of the most evocative episodes of the war classic, including the death of Patroclus and Achilles's fateful return to battle, that sealed the doom of Troy.
		Compulsively readable, Logue's poetry flies off the page, and his compelling descriptions of the horrors of war have a surreal, dreamlike quality that has been compared to the films of Kurosawa.
		Retaining the great poem's story line but rewriting every incident, Logue brings the Trojan War to life for modern audiences.
