Topic: Dunn, Douglas


  
 [No title]
Dunn uses image throughout to create scenes of domestic decay and isolation reflective of the emotional and literal experience of the poem.
DunnÕs ability to make the images communicate the emotional status of the speaker and the situation instead of a reliance on stale abstractions demonstrate his ability to express meaning through image.
DunnÕs variations on the length of the metrical feet and the rhyme scheme help contribute to the surprise and the shifting metaphors of the poem.

Dunn's reluctance to believe and inability to accept the "second opinion" are shown in the third stanza in the evasive language of the doctor and of the husband.
Dunn mixes the idea of his wife as a kind of lady of the (French) manor, with that of her as the protector of animals, as he calls her "the châtelaine of her reasonable ark".
Dunn states the time for which he must mourn her in apocalyptic terms (till the world's boundaries change, till the sun melts the polar ice) while he blasphemously, almost, describes Lesley as a "Lady Christ", meaning, one presumes, that he believes her spirit to live in him, as Christ lives in the Christian.

 Speaking from experience | Review | Guardian Unlimited Books
Douglas Dunn was born in Clydeside, trained as a librarian and worked in the US before moving to Hull, where Larkin became a mentor.
The poet Douglas Houston, a fellow student of Dunn's in the mid-1960s, explains that Dunn "had a working-class Scots upbringing and then, by means of ability and education, he moved away from that.
Dunn says that while he admired Larkin as a librarian and a poet, "he wasn't the sort of person you would go to if you were struggling with a poem".

 Douglas Dunn
Professor Douglas Dunn was born on on 23 October 1942 in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire.
Douglas Dunn can be categorised as a lyrical 'barbarian', the latter epithet being not an insult but a reference to his 1979 volume Barbarians, which takes an explicitly working class republican stance.
Dunn is a poet of post-Imperial Britain (particularly, his native Scotland), with a very keen sense of the meaning of unglamorous places 'And for a few, places are only the dumps / they end up in, backwaters, silent places, / The cheapest rooms of the cheapest towns'.

In contrast to the brief and simple Ratatouille, this is a series of lyrics in which Dunn attempts a serious and ambitious examination of Europe's history, in terms of racial and ethnic conflict, and of Europe's imperialism in other continents.
Dunn's familiar pacifist critique of military aggression appears in these poems, but there is no clear structure or argument.
Rather, there is a series of observations, many skilful and interesting enough, and a great deal of name-dropping: Dunn refers to places or events, ostensibly to support his argument; too often, though, the argument is obscure, and not at all illuminated by the reference.

Dunn leads us into his world of "Aerobia," a sort of futuristic gym where people come to better themselves, to pump their minds and build self-esteem.
While there is no acting, the cast all have their different characters - Dunn the idealist, Neu the barman of Aerobia's Zen bar who raps through his text, a commentary on what Aerobia is all about.
What Dunn knowingly manages to create is a dance play that verges on the utterly banal with meanings that are ultimately vacuous, but that does tap into a future where New Age thought and an obsession with health could be leading us.
