Solo

Solo is the eighth book of poetry in Benjamin Campbell's 13books series. Charting a range of topics throughout the year, these books aim to capture a slice of modern life. In this collection, the pleasures and problems of loneliness are considered in settings across the world. Alone in a room, on packed trains, out in the natural world, in busy airports - loneliness here is not simply about having nobody nearby. The effects of modern technology and society are completely transforming how we interact with one another, and the poems here draw a spotlight to this vital aspect of our lives.
