THE HOLLOW MEN OF MODERNITY: A REVIEW OF ANDY NOWICKI'S LOST VIOLENT SOULS


by Cecilia Davenport


     Shape without form, shade without colour,
     Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

     Those who have crossed
     With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
     Remember us-if at all-not as lost
     Violent souls, but only
     As the hollow men
     The stuffed men.

                        – T.S. Eliot, The Hollow Men
