Book excerpt: Tell, Mighty Wit, how the highest in forethought and, That tremendous plus, The Science, Saw off our panic and Globed vexation Until a drape of calmness furled around the earth And beckoned a new and greater normal into each life For which we give plenty gratitude and pay Willingly for the vict'ry triumph Merited by these wisest gods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this urgent outpouring of American voices, our poets speak to us as they shelter in place, addressing our collective fear, grief, and hope from eloquent and diverse individual perspectives. “One of the best books of poetry of the year . . . Quinn has accomplished something dizzying here: arranged a stellar cast of poets . . . It is what all anthologies must be: comprehensive, contradictory, stirring.” —The Millions **Featuring 107 poets, from A to Z—Julia Alvarez to Matthew Zapruder—with work in between by Jericho Brown, Billy Collins, Fanny Howe, Ada Limón, Sharon Olds, Tommy Orange, Claudia Rankine, Vijay Seshadri, and Jeffrey Yang** As the novel coronavirus and its devastating effects began to spread in the United States and around the world, Alice Quinn reached out to poets across the country to see if, and what, they were writing under quarantine. Moved and galvanized by the response, the onetime New Yorker poetry editor and recent former director of the Poetry Society of America began collecting the poems arriving in her inbox, assembling this various, intimate, and intricate portrait of our suddenly altered reality. In these pages, we find poets grieving for relatives they are separated from or recovering from illness themselves, attending to suddenly complicated household tasks or turning to literature for strength, considering the bravery of medical workers or working their own shifts at the hospital, and, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe, reflecting on the inequities in our society that amplify sorrow and demand our engagement. From fierce and resilient to wistful, darkly humorous, and emblematically reverent about the earth and the vulnerability of human beings in frightening times, the poems in this collection find the words to describe what can feel unspeakably difficult and strange, providing wisdom, companionship, and depths of feeling that enliven our spirits. A portion of the advance for this book was generously donated by Alice Quinn and the poets to Chefs for America, an organization helping feed communities in need across the country during the pandemic.

Book excerpt: Starfish on a Beach: The Pandemic Poems grew out of the first months of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Randall began writing these poems out of and about the phenomenon, one or three and day. When some were posted on Facebook, readers responded immediately to identify with her take on what we were all experiencing. These poems reflect the fear, isolation, and horror we felt as society -- as we watched public life close down, people were urged to stay distant from one another, wear face masks, and wash our hands frequently. Many of us lost jobs; some of us lost businesses. We saw beloved family members and friends sicken and some of them die. We watched helplessly as sources of income disappeared and the future seemed uncertain. But I also began thinking about other aspects of life through the lens of this situation: Have we brought this plague upon ourselves by our carelessness and lack of accountability to global warming? Does our social organization really meet our needs? Do we have the healthcare we need and deserve? Why are some communities suffering so much more than others? How might we think about changing what doesn't work? These poems reflect all this and more. They are offered in concern, anger, and also hope for a different future. These poems predate the killing of George Floyd, so the focus remains on health and isolation.

Book excerpt: Take a fresh and humorous look at the 2020 Covid 19 Pandemic year that most of us want to forget. Gary Alexander has created poems to help us remember what we lived through and how our lives were changed forever. While these light-hearted poems make us laugh, they also record how we lived - our story to pass on to future generations. Alexander also opens a door to the past -- with a look at some humorous poems written during the dark days of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. You can read with a smile the "Spanish Flu Poem of 1918" written by Joe Bogle, a black man from Louisville, Kentucky. Alexander dedicated this book to him. Today, we feel their fear, pain, and suffering, but we also share their uplifting spirit in the face of a worldwide disaster. There are striking similarities of our restricted lifestyles during our pandemic year with those living with the Spanish Flu outbreak just over one hundred years ago. Humor was a common bond, as Americans in two different centuries tried to cope with an out of control, and not fully understood, worldwide health scourge. The year 2020 was a steady progression of bad news with growing virus infections and rising death tolls. The public health guidelines relied upon a series of steps to try limit the spread. Life became isolated, ("hunkered down"), businesses, travel, leisure activities, and the wide range of our "normal" lifestyle was restricted. Learning and the workplace became "virtual" and new words became commonplace like: "zoom", and "flattening the curve" and "herd immunity". All of this was superimposed on a stress filled, very partisan year-long Presidential election. Alexander has captured it all in a collection of short, humorous, and penetrating poems with titles like: "WHY IS TOILET PAPER SO HARD TO FIND?" "LINE UP, LINE UP, IT'S FOR THE TEST!" "MY WIFE'S A BARBER" "WHO IS THIS GREAT GUY FAUCI?" "I'VE LOST MY MASK!" and many, more. They are an easy and fun read; but as you read, you

Book excerpt: Entrepreneur Emma Westlake discovers that friendship can be murder in this exciting new mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Laura Bradford. Emma Westlake has always wanted to be her own boss. But after sinking all her cash into a business that went belly-up, Emma finds herself in a penniless pickle. Dottie Adler, Emma’s elderly teatime companion, suggests she try to get paid for doing something she’s really good at—being a friend. Emma thinks it’s a crazy idea until requests start pouring in. Big Max, an eccentric local, wants her to act as his wingwoman at the local senior center’s upcoming dance, nurse practitioner Stephanie needs a workout partner, and writer Brian Hill asks Emma to be his cheering section at an open mic night. Brian will be reading from his latest work and wants to know someone will clap for him when he’s done. He tells Emma that the room will be filled with people he’s invited—four of whom would like to kill him. Emma is confident he’s joking, but when Brian steps up to the mic and promptly drops dead, she’s not so sure anymore. As one of the last people to see him alive, Emma finds herself on a handsome cop’s radar. Now she’ll have to cozy up to a killer to save her skin and her brand-new career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poems was prompted by the author's separation from his wife during the pandemic (family medical care) and his despair of events unfolding in 2020. It includes poetry written during the virus, as well as from throughout his life which are pertinent to today's topics, such as societal ills during the COVID-19 lockdown-faith, drug abuse, war, racism, love, and sexual issues. The book has both Christian and secular influence. This book is a reaction to the viciousness of our treatment of each other as humans, and the hypocrisy of the Church and the government. The author looks past our shortcomings to an optimism, remembering that to be a genuine human being is to have conviction and courage.

The many highlights include an original composition by John Corigliano that was premiered by Renée Fleming.

Book excerpt: The book is a meditation on the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by everyone in the world at some level or another. The main idea emphasized in the book is the fact that if one likes it or not, nature always has the last word. The poems try to address and highlight this perilously important and eternal lesson. This may be a hard lesson to accept for some, but nonetheless it should serve as a great reminder to all humanity that going against nature is never a very wise thing to do.

Download or read book As If Labyrinth written by Jeannie E. Roberts and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeannie E. Roberts' pandemic inspired collection of poems As If Labyrinth is an intentioned meditation of spirit and striving through a time of darkness. "The light surrounds the margins with hope." Reminiscent of Mary Oliver's closeness with the natural world, Roberts writes poetic transmutations through the white pine, rose quartz, oak, soaring eagle- her botanical contemplations bloom in the cosmos. In these chaotic times, these poems are a healing balm, a snowy walk in the muffled woods, a song sparrow's brave crescendo. "Hope repeats/in predictable variations of marvel" and these poems guide us to a "more unified manifestation/where humanity shines as an integrated whole." -Kai Coggin, Author of Periscope Heart, Wingspan, and Incandescent In the dedication for this fine collection, Jeannie E. Roberts quotes Rumi, Love is the bridge between you and everything. In poem after poem, Roberts is on that bridge. Whether honoring the natural world, remembering those she has lost, or thanking front-line workers, Roberts affirms what we must cherish during this pandemic time. Often incorporating scientific knowledge, exhibiting skill with both formal and free verse, these poems move us with powerful images. In the epigraph to "Saving Painted Turtles," Roberts quotes Fred Rogers, Look for the helpers. With these poems, Jeannie E. Roberts is one of them. -Penny Harter, Author of A Prayer the Body Makes; Still-Water Days (Kelsay Books) In these intricate, wide-eyed poems, As If Labyrinth by Jeannie E. Roberts, the poet takes the reader on an odyssey of awakenings and transitions, with a voice that is at once lyrical, wonderous and impacting. She renders intricate cautionary tales of juxtaposed worlds, "Insects are caught midst the gossamer strands." Roberts has a keen sense of the tenuous boundaries in the natural world, and how something like a 'perilous world pandemic' can make us see the essential yearnings of what it is to be human in a chaotic world. This poet's potions are made of bewitching cadences and imagery that prods us to see the beauty and magic in the most ordinary happenings. By turns lyrical and exacting, this voice can make a hymn of air moving in a room, "breezes swayed your cotton dress /in the ancient city." These carefully observed poems reveal the tender ways our bodies exist in the world, and deftly guide us through a garden sanctuary of reckoning. The possibilities of joy and beauty transcend the difficult challenges of our lives at war with a virus. As If Labyrinth is a rich and indelible collection, to be savored and retraced as a healing salve in a precarious world. The poet confirms, "I have faith in signs."-this book is an elegant beam of light in darkness. -Cynthia Atkins, Author of Still-Life With God

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE COVID COLLECTION OF PANDEMIC POETRY IS a recollection of what life was like as the world changed with the beginning of the COVID Pandemic. The author reflects in light verse how different life had become, with the disappearance of so much we have always taken for granted. Her writing, which starts out in a light-hearted vein, quickly transitions to a more somber tone as she observes how our government responded to the crisis. In the words of one critic, "These beautiful poems, memories, opinions and experiences seem to be of one person, but in reality are those of everyone who lived through these harsh times. Poet/ thinker/ philosopher, Beth has put all of that mesmerizingly into words. This beautiful poetry is real and truly hits home. The style is modern, yet has touches of classical poetry, which is wonderful to read."
