Ward Parks’ 4th session on Francis Brabazon’s poetry is called “Cultural Critique and Eschatology in The Word at World’s End.” Ward describes the first half as being a “torrent of images depicting modern life…cold and empty, hammering relentlessness…of those who have forgotten God,” but the second half is conversely full of praise. The last 20 minutes includes a musical version of Francis’ poem “Hymn To God The Man,” by Sam Saunders and The Wineshop Singers. Francis read The World at World’s End to Baba every morning and He was full of big grins and chuckles.
