Travel is an inescapable part of existence. Most of us travel spatially between several places every day, near or far, and we all have journeys that we enjoy and journeys that we dread. But no one can avoid the travel through time that we all undergoing, all the time, no matter how much we might want to. This collection of poems is inspired by the emotions aroused by travel through both space and time, both real and imaginary. The title piece, Requiem for the Intercity 125, sets the tone for the whole volume, in that it describes a journey in space but also a passage through time, mixing together a yearning to retain present joys with apprehension about the future and a feeling of regret for something that is about to be lost.
