ALL THE YEARS AHEAD Artists’ Notes “This marks a departure from the timeline of The Danger Tree as we explore the RMS Titanic and its tragic sinking. The edition size is 1912 to reflect the year the ship was launched. “The poem asks the question, ‘who shall honour our sailor-dead?’ Whilst it is fundamentally a poem about those who have died in battle, it also serves as a metaphor for those lost at sea – whether in uniform or not. “Those left behind must have suffered enormous anguish at not being able to lay flowers, or kneel in prayer next to a grave.” Poem used: ‘Years Ahead’ by Guy N. Pocock. It is narrated by the Cold Feet actress Karen David. The score was composed by Marc Canham. About the poet: Guy N. Pocock (1880-1955) was a music master at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and also worked for the BBC. He was a published poet, essayist and author.
