No head of State or classical film is safe from his exacting eye, which yields refreshing insights about subjects we thought we already understood. A poet for the journey rather than the arrival, Oakman blends intellect, heart and imagination in sharply observed verse employing the rhythms of everyday speech with a conversational tone devoid of sentimentality. He eschews distracting detail, embellishment and pointless abstractions, to usher his readers towards closing lines frequently of startling impact. If this book has a leitmotif it might be distilled from the poetry of Antonio Machado, the great Spanish poet whose life and work are referenced here and there throughout Second Thoughts. Oakman is plainly sympathetic to Machado's credo: Wayfarer, your footsteps/ are the road and nothing more./ Wayfarer, there is no road,/ the road is made by walking. Oakman's writing, recently described by a prominent critic as 'radically comprehensible', is a poetry of engagement which embraces a wide range of subjects - political, personal, cinema, art, war - always encouraging the reader to share an experience, an idea, an emotion.
