Forces of aggression, ideology and greed isolate us from each other: Peter Clive's second poetry collection, "stowaway," explores the human experience of shared pain and expresses solidarity with refugees and the victims of war, imperialism and poverty. How do we commemorate what has passed beyond memory? How do we pay tribute to people lost without a trace, whose very existence can only be a matter of speculation, because all record of it has been destroyed, people whose individual identities will now forever be unknown? How can we say "never again" when we know nothing of the real, living personalities to whom the events we describe happened, and we can only discuss them in the abstract, dealing in concepts rather than consequences? These are the questions Peter Clive's poetry collection "stowaway" asks, and emphatically states that the answers are to be found in how we treat each other today, and the futures we build and share together.
