Bücher von Alyson Hallett

Covid / Corvid by Alyson Hallett & Penelope Shuttle is an uplifting pamphlet of sonnets written in response to the pandemic. Hallett & Shuttle both allude to the natural world, using its vibrancy to contrast to the boredom and rigmarole of lockdown life. Their use of form is playful, tocking and tucking sonnets into various shapes and sizes. Covid / Corvid is an accessible pamphlet full of profound and clear-eyed poetry, unafraid to say "fuck lockdown blues".

An email conversation between a noted poet.walker and a noted performance.walker about being temporarily prevented from walking 'normally' by illness/surgery. Their reflections cover cultural perceptions and personal values associated with walking, personal anecdotes, philosophical reflection, practices for daily-life and an alphabet of falling.
