Freedom in Constraint is a sequence of formal poems focusing on the themes of isolation and social distancing and the wider issues and challenges to community and family arising out of the current Covid 19 pandemic.
“Sea Dream” is the third poem in the sequence and again my daughter Martha has made a short film to accompany it. In the early part of lockdown the restrictions on travel made it impossible to drive to the sea or beach. I know it’s a small deprivation in the scheme of things, but somehow it was acutely felt.
Next week we’ll move away from the sonnet form and try something different. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy. Stay safe!
