Nativity / In Lockdown with Brecht is a moving collection of poems on many modern themes, including globalisation, hopes invested in the next generation, our guilt concerning the terrors of their inheritance, love, comradeship, mental stress and troublesome romance, but often with a light and elaborate touch. Each poem invokes a contemporary experience of the world that will resonate with a wide range of readers.
Nativity / In Lockdown with Brecht makes demands of the reader that will be repaid in new perspectives on and ways of feeling about the world today and in the foreseeable future. It also employs humour, satire and a sense of the absurd at times.
