News at Eleven: Like the Irish poets

of the last half-century, they mix fragments of Ancient Greek mythology with the realities of modern life; as soundbites from [Adam] Simmonds show--"Apollo hides his WMD" and "Paradise paved with a disposable nappy"--these three are attempting to outline the relationship between eternality and insignificance and blend them into a novel style, all the while avoiding pretence and pretentiousness.
