The Chameleon of Choice

By Alison Huckvale

The Chameleon of Choice by Alison Huckvale is her second collection of verses and poetry, whereby venturing down a rabbit hole can still be achieved wearing purple Dr Marten boots. Alison detonates gender, race, and ethnicity and puts feeling into fandango as a substitute for distress. Making choices and colour changes, she likens herself to a chameleon, where fear is replaced by impatience and the concept of affection is shut down. JOHN HEGLEY: I am gladdened by the colours in both the writing and the images of chameleons and the biscuit tin. It is most reassuring to hear of a vulnerable phoenix. ROB GEE: A rewarding symbiosis of poetry and visual art... Amongst other things, this book shows us the wisdom of finding joy in simple pleasures. Some lovely illustrations too. HELEN MORT: Alison writes poems from the heart. The Chameleon of Choice is an enlightening, bold, engaging collection.
