Early orders for Christmas

Flirting on an Escalator There are reflections on cars and benches, football and bus journeys, airports and gritty observations on politics, and of course there is love. Bettina’s poetry has a freshness and directness that lends itself to the spoken word, which she frequently performs with accompanying sound. Subjects are picked seemingly at random and transformed into a colourful poetic landscape. You are invited to come along for the ride and see the world from a different perspective.

The mundanity of a supermarket shelf becomes extraordinary, and the selection of a yoghurt leads to philosophical questions about the concept of choice and perceived freedoms. Everyday activities around Arsenal’s football stadium unfold as a captivating story of social life in Holloway, North London, Bettina’s home turf. There are also glimpses of the author’s personal life that touch upon her background as refugee from the communist East, and a consequent passion for travelling.
