Unsafe by Norman Jope
Unsafe is a sequence of short poems, written between May and December 2020. Whilst this is not a COVID sequence per se, but something that developed organically and often unexpectedly across several notebooks, it inevitably reflects the peculiar character of that period. In particular, there are strong contrasts between the author's immediate surroundings (described early in the sequence as 'Peak Plymouth') and global heterotopias including North Africa, Antarctica and Central Asia. A dialogue between intense localism and intense globalism pervades the sequence, which is also a celebration of human freedom - and possibility - in an unprecedentedly-restrictive time.
