When this is over Pandemic poems
Book - 2020
"The poems in this collection function almost like diary entries. Things are pulled from the news: Tony Fauci, the Orange Man, murder hornets, mask madates, George Floyd.... But it's not all worry beads and despair. Not by a long shot. The poems aim for a touch of whimsy. They bring a single flower to the plague. They dress up. And they look to the future while, yes, wearing a mask. " -- cover
