Pedestrian in the Multiverse
Claire Booker’s collection from Waterloo Press contains 68 pages of poetry which spans continents and universes from life in the womb, to love on the back streets of Marrakesh, victims of warfare to nature’s fight-back, Schrödinger’s Cat to parakeets, lovers, saints, families and a dash of Shakespeare. Pedestrian in the Multiverse offers the reader stories, ideas and held moments to explore, enjoy and return to.
“The first full-sized collection from prize-winning Claire Booker is an event. Previously acclaimed in exquisite pamphlets, Booker doesn’t sound quite like anyone else. This new volume presents us with a necklace of lyrical jewels that sparkle with wit, sincerity and the brilliant subtleties of language which we have come to expect from a poet of this calibre. Here we find ‘tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, scene individible, or poem unlimited.’ Her influences range across a wide gamut of literature and experience, and she gathers them together into a unique outlook encased in stunning linguistic ingenuities that surprise constantly and lodge themselves in the memory.” David Pollard.
