Short description
Titanic is written in ‘Triplicism’ and revolves around a conversation between SO or SM Lightoller (Highest Ranked) surviving officer on RMS Titanic and Millvina Dean a two month old who was carried from the sinking ship. She was steerage, which is third class, and was saved in a bundle of cloth, but would have no memory of what happened.Extended description
Titanic is written in ‘Triplicism’ and revolves around a conversation between SO or SM Lightoller (Highest Ranked) surviving officer on RMS Titanic and Millvina Dean a two month old who was carried from sinking ship. She was steerage, which is third class, and was saved in a bundle of cloth, but would have no memory of what happened.In the poem Lightoller tells her what happens on his final deck inspection, one hour and forty minutes before the Titanic hit’s the Iceberg.
He tells his story in the first person present, to give the impression he’s closing his eyes remembering and reliving, for the first time since the Titan sank. The poem also doubles as an analogy of the Euro Zone Crisis, as well as holding a third layer of thought through the addition of ‘Hamlets’ Moral corruption.

Some of it reads like obituary to the fallen construction industry, very good
Catching the paradoxical
Statements of unlucky builders,
And listening to the premonition stories
On the smell of ice.

I fast read and need to focus a lot more, but I love knowing what the boat was like, I love the discription in the poem of the News they had
'The room is dashed with card players
Photographers and Journalists,
All dissecting ‘The Atlantic News’,
Scribed daily to administer,
A dose of sport, social
And Industrial Truths'
Does anyone else knows about this online?

I will write a full and succinct review in the New Year but I must say the first few reads have impressed me, and although the poem, in it's structure does not have an obvious chance to 'achieve a theoretical impossibility' in the fact it is an event which happened, it does give us something new in it's form, and in ways, structure.
It's hard to fault the historical elements without first researching the actual sinking of the Titanic, but if it fits, timeline and action wise, plus harbouring the dark undertone of Shakespeare's 'Moral Corruption' in Hamlet, then like it's central character, it could be a future triumph hidden waiting to be discovered. I'll give it five stars for now, but let me sleuth properly before nailing any colours to the mast.
