My latest poetry book "Apperception" highlights the intense dreaming process I experienced during the confinement due to our vulnerability caused by the pandemic. In the book, I tried to write about the reasons that brought about the Covid-19 crisis by referring to 18th century London life through the etchings and paintings of William Hogarth, the satirist painter.
