About this Rooku
A popular current passtime is to pass judgement on the past. Partly, this is illuminating (what interested contemporary writers and thinkers is different from what interests us now), and partly, it is arrogant. Every generation believes it is the most enlightened, and we are no exception.
How the future will judge us? One thing that is for certain is that every “latest thing” will eventually be thought of as something that old people once did. This poem is a glimpse of a moment yet to be, and is for everyone, no matter from what era, who has ever ridiculed a fashion from the past.

About Andrew Bromage
Andrew is a thirtysomething individual who laments the fact that polymaths are not valued more. Part artist wannabe, part armchair philosopher, mostly scientist, but all human. Moving Galleries represents Andrew's first formally published poetry, and it marks a departure from his more usual mediocre verse.
