Do Try This at Home bridges English and German, poetry born of an era in which travel and face-to-face collaboration became impossible. In “trying this at home”, co-authors Moira Walsh and Wilfried Schubert capture the simultaneous sense of loneliness and togetherness that emerged in that peculiar time. Contemplative and quiet, this book is a compendium of moments, of fleeting beauty, and of the questions we ask ourselves in the muted hours of our lives.

“Walsh and Schubert are kindred spirits at play. Their poetic dialogue illuminates how we can be together in language(s), across distances. Not only a pleasure to read but also full of intriguing methods to personally explore!”
—OLJA ALVIR, author of the trilingual poetry collection Spielfeld and the novel Kein Meer
“These collaborative poems yield enormous, timeless wisdom from the miniscule, the mundane, the overlooked via condensed language and white space. The art of minimalism is on full display here.”
—JOSE HERNANDEZ DIAZ, author of The Fire Eater and Bad Mexican, Bad American
“The distilled intensity of this jointly-authored chapbook transmutes the very process of collaboration. The brevity of the poems is deceptive: they are rich in nuance, tonal shift, and a variety of register, moving from the aphoristic to the mythical, the domestic to the surreal. A vivid celebration of creative community.”
—SUSIE CAMPBELL, author of Enclosures and The Sleeping Place
