Iain Bamforth's third collection applies carnival licence to various kinds of histories: personal, symbolic, ethnographic, social--even to a history of representations in the 101 epigrams and autographemes that make up the Paris sequence Impediments. Away from the city, the narratives of patients based on his experience as a country doctor in the south west of Scotland, and the poems set in a mining town in the Australian outback, contribute to the social history of their communities as they examine how far a rural doctor--a fortunate man in John Berger's phrase--can negotiate against the sheer weight of common sense.
