The Underside of Things

Meer over het boek

These poems are a selection from the poems written one a day day during lockdown and as we eased out. They are a diary of the poet's inner journey; a record of the range of emotions and thoughts during those months of isolation that we can all recognise but might find hard to articulate. They run the gamut of frustration, fear, sadness, loneliness and resignation, but also the joy of being part of the natural world and the freedom to do nothing. They are shot through with hope and optimism.
