Böcker av 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.

Covid / Corvid is an accessible pamphlet full of profound and clear-eyed poetry, unafraid to say "fuck lockdown blues".
