Description:Deepwater Horizon. Piper Alpha. These names have become synonymous disaster, but they also provide the oil that, at least for now, keep factories running, houses warm and transport running. Life on these oil rigs is lonely, gritty and dangerous. For those left at home, it is also lonely, and dangerous in other ways. Jonathan Wonham's poems spring from his experience on these oil platforms, particularly his time in Northern Scotland, where the loneliness, the fear, the horror worked itself out in these poems. Each poem describes the scene from a different angle, a different point of view, a small vignette of oil and steel and the human condition.The sky, the sea and the grey steel of the rigs form a monochromatic landscape that blends day with day. Yet there are also bright flashes of colour, brief moments of beauty. Nick Wonham, Jonathan's brother, adds the visuals to these vignettes, crafting the multicoloured linocuts that help convey the sense of each poem. The 53 pages of Steel Horizon include 29 poems and 10 full-page linocuts.
