Tony Harrison’s poem, “Marked With D,” was a very ironic poem set apart from other poetry in the shear sense that it focuses on issues such as the dependability of religion.
Tony Harrison’s poem, “Timer,” was more of a poem about the symbolism of the wedding ring in the relationship between his mother and father; however, this poem also focused on Harrison’s relationship with his mother more so than his relationship with his father (represented in “Marked With D”).
Harrison showed his loyalty as a son and made sure this was done, but unfortunately, his mother’s ring would not burn, “Gold survives the fire that’s hot enough.” This phrase could be interpreted as love conquers all because the gold ring symbolized a committed bond of love that never died.

Harrison's robust, jaunty and defiantly rhyming poetry draws on dialect verse, folk rhymes and pantomime; the lyrical indignation of war poets such as Wilfred Owen have influenced anti-war polemics such as A Cold Coming.
Harrison has worked in TV (the extraordinary and moving Alzheimer's piece, Black Daisies for the Bride) and film (1998's Prometheus, which received lukewarm reviews).

Harrison is a buyer of second-hand books and the ironic distance between the culture Campey purveys and his own pathetic circumstances is at the heart of Harrison's art.
Harrison spent some time in America in the late 1970s and early 1980s and the poems that emerged were longer, more relaxed and discursive.

A prominent feature in the original Sanskrit poem is that every stanza begins with the word 'Adyapi', a word of reminiscence; Mathers' translates this as 'Even now,' and the steady recurrence of this 'Even now' is part of what makes the poem so hypnotic.
Tony Harrison, in his introduction to the book, compares the phrase to the tolling of a death bell.
It works well; 'even now' implies both the summoning up of something long gone, and the sense that even in the face of death, the memory of love remains powerful.
