Hertz by Hannah Copley & Alycia Pirmohamed
The poem(s) in Hertz burst out of the restrictions of formal poetic categories. Themes of decaying whilst still alive, and what hurts the living, surface through the poets’ intimate attentions to soil.
Alycia and Hannah write about their collaborative process inside this publication, where you’ll also hear about the piece of climate science and a song that we gave them as a starter. Each purchase includes a packet of seeds.
