Reviews

If we ever needed a bouquet of poems to remember this past year and counting, Angela O'Donnell and Paraclete Press have gifted us with one. Love in the Time of Coronavirus: A Pandemic Pilgrimage speaks to our moment with a brilliant mix of Emily Dickinson, the Metaphysicals, William Blake, Flannery O'Connor, and the Psalms. Every aspect of this time has been marked and accounted for in this witty, brilliant collection that will make you laugh as well as break your heart. Here it is: the long gray lockdown, the daily toll knelled on the news, the seasons as they go and come and go, that longing to break free and see something of our gorgeous world, to hug our family, to feel the sun and air and sea breeze again. But deepest of all, to realize the life we have been given, and the time to thank the Good Lord Who loves us for each heartbeat, each breath. --Paul Mariani
