This is a sequence of nineteen experimental odes. The sequence
offers a documentation of the last year in the form of a
fragmented, multi-perspectival 'public voice' poetry. With its
roots in the socio-historical context of the pandemic - from
stripped supermarket-shelves or clapping for the NHS workers
through to the Trump presidency and the closure of Philip Green's
Arcadia - the sequence opens onto post-apocalyptic, dystopian
fantasies. The locations range from warehouses on the Essex estuary
and deserted university campuses to barbecues in Portland and
bush-fires in Australia, registering the new awareness of the
fragility of supply chains and a larger awareness of climate
catastrophe. At the same time, the sequence also explores the
experience of lockdown through the evocation of a series of
enclosed spaces as if the experience of Covid were a bunker, a
submarine, a space-station, a colony on Mars, while also attending
to the necessarily mediated experiences produced by lockdown and
the corresponding reliance on the technologies of
video-conferencing, Instagram, zoom.
