Description

Oli Hazzard's latest collection explores the intersections of everyday life and the world around us. Through a diverse range of poems, he excavates 'the ore / from boredom', uncovering memories both personal and collective. The title, inspired by a Lutheran hymn, reflects the book's dreamlike quality, as it navigates dramatic shifts in rhythm, space, and scale. Hazzard's poetry is marked by satirical, allusive, tender, and hopeful moments, which create spaces for intimacy with the reader. In Sleepers Awake, he argues for the value of 'the jovial texture of batshit relations' and the pleasure of engaging with others in a sceptical company.
