In the North, we have started to stop sleeping again. We want love to win instead – but we have no choice but to lie there, still and quiet, waiting for it all to stop. And this is where Poetry Jukebox comes in – a free audio public art installation in the grounds of the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast. And later in the same poem,it is as if nothingbad is happening anywhere: as ifeverything in the Garden is lovely. The poets are sentinels, reminding us of the psychological contract we have had, and need, with each other.
