Overview

This collection shares stories in verse collected from the weeks leading up to the coronavirus pandemic through the five years that followed. It reveals layers of grief, futility, rage and hope of raising children in America while trying to self-parent through an endless string of ""unprecedented events."" Each poem shares a piece of the experience of being a woman, a child, a friend and a mother through the isolation of the first years of the shut down and the gradual reemergence into a world much changed. This collection explores the weight of loneliness while embracing the possibility of transformation. Every person had to walk their own path through those years. These poems pull at the strings that bring us together.
