Preface

What has been may be again: another Homer, & another Virgil, may possibly arise from those very causes which produced the first
John Dryden

Axis & Allies has been the work of my life. Beginning in Brighton, 1999, it has both escorted & driven me across the planet in the pursuit of its creation. Four years ago, on the Greek island of Samothraki, I thought I’d formally completed the poem, as I saw it then, & as this video attests;

An Olympiad later, or so, I shall be resuming my task, focusing this year on the central cantica, concerning the build up to, & the actualisation of, the Second World War. This video shows me at the very start of the poem’s latest composition period;

This next video was filmed January 18th, 2024, & shows me adding flavour to the stanza notes from events 1930-36.

The next video was film’d just a few days before the start of the Chinese new year (I’m a Fire Dragon)

The next video was film’d in Arran on the day I finalised the poem’s architectronics

Each week there will be two new cantos, out of 85 in total,
