Pandemic Corona Pamela Eakins

What do writers do at the End of the World? They write about it. They will write about it until their last breath. As COVID-19 swept the globe in 2020, the Sisters of the Holy Pen were there. In PANDEMIC CORONA: POEMS OF SHOCK, FEAR, REALIZATION & METAMORPHOSIS, 36 women authors from around the world offered 122 works exploring the emotions and politics of Locking Down, Dancing With Death, The Choices Before Us, and The Emerging Revelations. From inside the lockdown, the women wrote. From inside the mirror of impermanence, they wrote. They wrote out their dread, their fear, their boredom, and their contentment. Within their observations, they regarded all manner of strange portents. All this they approached with cynicism, awe, sardonic humor, and the breathtaking wonder of being and becoming alive inside a meltdown within a chrysalis of permanent transformation. Anyone who is living through, or who has lived through, the Great Pandemic of 2020, will want to read this book.
