In Rampant Inertia Alan Halsey, identified by Tony Lopez as a
'normally secret and invisible language spy', is found going about
his familiar business, dismantling the rhetoric of Austerity while
tracking scientific and other uncertainties, rereading Burton in
the light of the Arab Spring, miming Our Mutual Friend,
transcribing a racehorse's gossip, mapping the bricked-up public
toilets of Sheffield, tapping Lewis and Clark's conversation in the
Lost Trail Pass or fitfully failing to translate Aretino's erotica.
Is 'Baa baa black sheep' a political poem? He thinks so. Rampant
Inertia completes a trilogy of books, following Term as in
Aftermath (Ahadada 2009) and Even if only out of (Veer 2011)
although it may be the third in a tetralogy. Selections from
Halsey's earlier work appeared in Five Years Out (Galloping Dog
1989), Wittgenstein's Devil (Stride 2000), Marginalien (Five
Seasons 2005) and Not Everything Remotely (Salt 2006).
