In this verse-portrait of Sir Charles Snodgrass 'Plevna' Ryan (1853-1926), Geoff Page weaves the writing of Ryan together with his own voice as biographer, setting down the life of a man forgotten by history at the same time as reflecting on his role as intermediary. Page's sensitive investigation into the lost life of Charles Ryan probes broader topics of mortality, posterity and collective memory. Written insecond person and in verse, Page reflects both on the power and theunreliability of storied lives.
