Hotel is a wonderful debut pamphlet from 2018 Eric Gregory award winning poet Ali Lewis. In
short, intricate verse, his poems tackle the complexities of modern
relationships and city living with great self-deprecation, not a little
light-heartedness, and dashes of the surreal. But there is depth here too. In
this connected century, with so many eyes on you, with so many opinions and
agendas being made vocal, what is the best way to be, as a
partner, a friend, a colleague? And what will happen if you get it wrong? The
domestic lives large in these works, whether in rooms and halls offices or in
the world beyond. Ali Lewis is a fresh new voice in poetry and is here for the
long haul. Read, and you’ll see why.
