The title piece is truly a primitive tale of darkest Africa drawn from the author’s childhood on the continent (1958 – 1969). Inspired by friendships , meanderings and dialogues with tribal natives , UNDER A PRIMITIVE MOON exhibits a well cultivated understanding of existing superstitions, fears and beliefs. The work evokes a sense of the ethereal and mythological as an aspect of life even this far along in the twentieth century.
In his maritime writings and verse one’s imagination is lured from a modern day tale of murder, mystery, mayhem and intrigue into a realm of timelessness, romance, humour and adventure in the no – man’s – land of the high seas.
