Download or read book Viral Spiral written by Sarah P. Ross and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pandemic of our lifetime, the era of Covid-19, was a time of mystery, death, and fear as never before seen. It revealed the nurse’s face imprinted red as she cried behind her mask and the EMT loading soon-to-be-dead onto the ambulance. Amidst the Food Bank’s love and sustenance was news of Captain Crozier’s termination, fired for trying to save his men from Covid’s annihilation. Even Governor Cuomo acted as the surrogate president as New Yorkers clapped from their windows to thank first responders for their magic, and people stayed home, always to celebrate alone. It was just the time when nothing made sense and everything reeked of false pretense. It was a time when working for gratuity changed to delivery, when jobs were all gone and bills pilled overwhelmingly high! Stocks plummeted radically. Another Depression was nigh. Drugs became the crutch for each hour, and abuse of all sorts ruled rampid with power. There is no escape when one’s quarantined; children learned a way of life not meant to be. Nursing homes hid the dead bodies of their residents, while all people of color died disproportionately. The meat-packers were forced to work against their own will; Native Americans once again, by a virus, were killed. The homeless had to endure even more suffering, but for the first time, from Coronavirus, our air became clean. George Floyd started his own pandemic for the BLACK LIVES MATTER task as the president gassed peaceful protestors to clear a path, never wearing a mask, his followers to never dare ask. The virus continued to baffle and control as Americans writhed from its pain. The world had changed. All had changed. Yet graduates, though masked, pretended all was the same. Wearing masks, they flung hats up with glee, while uncaring asymptomatics spread the virus epidemically. Monuments of hate and slavery came toppling down, and the sound of protest continued to erupt. A child’s birthday was celebrated by her black daddy being gunned down, where he only awkwardly slept. The bounty of our soldiers rages with this virus today. It is no surprise that innocent children are being caged. “Live and let die” dictated the day that we all blindly march in Corona’s parade. Viral Spiral is a book that details the various dramatic aspects of the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. Each poem is accompanied by real-life photos of Covid-19 and Black Lives Matter content. The marriage of these photos with each jaw-dropping poem will overwhelm the reader.
Download or read book Americorona written by Philip C. Kolin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Americorona track the history of COVID-19 in the US from late 2019 to early 2021—how the pandemic affects America medically, economically, spiritually, and psychologically. There are three types of poems in seven sections in Americorona. Leading each section are poems about other historical pandemics (cholera, Black Death, polio, Irish Potato Famine, Pharaoh’s plagues, etc.) that foreshadow or parallel the tragic events ushered in by COVID-19. The majority of poems, however, are about COVID-19 tragedies—how the pandemic started, how it impacts children and minorities, how it resulted in hunger and increased discrimination, how it brings out naysayers, how the medical community is dealing with the pandemic. Interspersed among COVID-19 and historical poems are experimental ones on such topics as the “memory of breathing” or the “exhaustion of monotony” during the pandemic.
Book Synopsis Teacher-Poets Writing to Bridge the Distance by : Sarah J. Donovan
Download or read book Teacher-Poets Writing to Bridge the Distance written by Sarah J. Donovan and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of preserving the voices and experiences of teachers who navigated a new reality due to the COVID-19 global pandemic was the starting point of the project Teacher-Poets Writing to Bridge the Distance: An Oral History of COVID-19 in Poems. This anthology offers readers the poems shared across 39 collected oral histories: 166 poems. We extracted the poems from the transcripts to show the line breaks and stanzas intended by the teacher-poets. In the margins of the pages, the white spaces, this anthology also holds the meaningful connections and the sense of community that developed during the interviews where teacher-poets witnessed one another's lives. The oral history interviews are available for public access at Oklahoma Oral History Research Program where you can listen to the teacher-poets' emotions, reactions, and insights elicited by reading their poetry. By doing this, revisiting poems written a year prior, teachers re-witness, with perspective offered only by time, the impact of COVID-19 on them as teachers and on education more broadly.
Download or read book Four Quartets written by Jeffrey Levine and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Edited by Jeffrey Levine and Kristina Marie Darling. In this timely anthology, established and emerging poets bear powerful witness to the COVID-19 pandemic in writing that reels from collective grief and uncertainty. This volume consists of sixteen separate chapbooks, and a collection of pandemic-era photography, which are unified by a shared narrative: public and private experiences of quarantine, and the impulse toward creation during a time of enormous upheaval, injustice, and protest. Each voice brings with it a deeply personal account of this globally historic moment, and in doing so, conveys the urgency of introspection, of isolation, and of revolution. These pieces feature B. A. Van Sise, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Yusef Komunyakaa, Laren McClung, Stephanie Strickland, Mary Jo Bang, Shane McCrae, Ken Chen, J. Mae Barizo, Dora Malech, Jon Davis, Lee Young-Ju, Jae Kim, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, A. Van Jordan, Maggie Queeney, Traci Brimhall, Brynn Saito, Denise Duhamel, and Rick Barot. This is a transcendent and ultimately transformative book of poetry written through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Healing the Divide urges us, at this fraught political time, to move past the negativity that often fills the airwaves, and to embrace the ordinary moments of kindness and connection that fill our days.
Download or read book Plague 2020 written by Mahnaz Badihian and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is preserved inside these pages is not just a collection of poetry and art, but a document of the phenomenon that will change the lives of the people of Earth for several generations to come. COVID anthologies are sprouting up everywhere and are soon to be common, but what the international magazine MahMag has accomplished in this particular collection is an up-front and personal view of the effects of quarantine, the fear of infection, and death affecting little children, grade school children, teenagers, adults, doctors, scientists, teachers, and people of all walks of life; told by everyone, not just practiced poets and artists. Some of these people were driven to create as a result of lockdown; what once were side hobbies have become integral forms of expression that help individuals grapple with the daily grim reality they witness outside their window, in the news, in stories brought home by their parents and family members, some who are working on the front lines. Readers will notice common themes emerging worldwide: The Earth has taken time to heal herself. Salute to healthcare workers. We did not take care of our planet before, but now we can begin in a new way. A view from my window. Looking forward to hugging again. Accounts from countries we do not hear enough from are collected in these pages. Opening this tome, you will now meet each of them for yourself. Poems composed in other languages have been translated into English. There are over 120 poets and about 100 artists from countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Philippines, Nigeria, Tanzania, Cameroon, Sri Lanka and more, so many more. Every frame of art has been mounted on the page in order to maximize viewing. Turn the book to see large-scale horizontals. You will find names you recognize and those whom you would never know otherwise. These people are your neighbors of Earth sharing this event with you. Everyone was touched by this Plague of 2020.By: Youssef Aloui
Book Synopsis FLA Poetry A Covid-19 Anthology by : B. Retang Wohangara
Download or read book FLA Poetry A Covid-19 Anthology written by B. Retang Wohangara and published by SCU Knowledge Media. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings are embedded with various kinds of strong feeling, of passions that are often brought to life into words. In his poetry collection, Leaves of Grass, the American poet, Walt Whitman writes, “We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion…” Thus, I believe that the students, alumni, and the lectures of FLA who share their poems with us in this FLApoetry Anthology want to articulate their existence as parts of humankind.
Download or read book Dear Vaccine written by Naomi Shihab Nye and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People from around the world reflect on the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine through poetry When so much in our lives ground to a halt in the spring of 2020, no one knew how long the COVID-19 pandemic would last. After long months of shutdowns, social distancing, and worry, the first coronavirus vaccines were released in December 2020. In March 2021, the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University and the University of Arizona Poetry Center launched the website for the Global Vaccine Poem project, inviting anyone to share experiences of the pandemic and vaccination through poetry. Dear Vaccine features selections from over 2,000 poetry submissions to the project, which come from all 50 states and 118 different countries. Internationally acclaimed author Naomi Shihab Nye, in her introduction, highlights the human dimensions found across the responses. Richard Carmona, the 17th Surgeon General of the United States, provides a foreword that contextualizes the global scope of the problem, as well as the political and public health dimensions. Making use of poetry's powerful tools to connect us across division, Dear Vaccine reminds us that medical advances alone are not enough to solve the vexing challenges of the pandemic; the arts--and poetry--have a profound and critical role to play.
Book Synopsis A 21st Century Plague by : Elayne Clift
Download or read book A 21st Century Plague written by Elayne Clift and published by University Professors Press. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is more than a year since Covid-19 invaded our countries and our bodies, causing us to long for the touch of loved ones, to fight anxiety and despair, and to adjust to the stunning effects of prolonged isolation. We watched as the numbers of deaths mounted and agreed that it was the worst health crisis we’d experienced in a hundred years. We saw pictures of those we’d lost, and resisted having them treated as mere statistics. What we longed for were stories about people lost to the insidious virus, and those left behind. We wanted stories of survival, coping, finding our way to the future. We wanted stories that made us laugh, weep, empathize, share sadness, become better people ourselves. That’s because storytelling, whether sung, danced, painted, acted, or written in prose and poetry is primal. It’s how we come to understand the world around us. Stories give us wholeness and allow us to recover something vital and true in our lives. Stories, as writer Sue Monk Kidd knows, are “the life of the soul.” Telling and hearing stories of how we got through this dreadful pandemic is how we say what happened, with empathy, so that future generations will know what it was like to live in isolation for over a year, to feel afraid while trying to be brave, to cope, and even to grow because of the shared experience. The stories we tell, and the carefully crafted words we use to tell them are an act of remembrance in which our words build monuments to a time when our lives called upon us to carry on and to endure, to know what really matters, to know what to cling to and what to let go. In making much of the mundane, 53 poets share 70 poems in the anthology A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic. The poems, by diverse and award-winning writers, capture and share the collective Covid experience in which we became “gardeners of the spirit who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth,” as writer May Sarton put it. They reveal that we were brave in our contemplative journey, and that we dared “to deal with our bag of fears,” as Eudora Welty said we must. The poetic expressions of such courage are healing. They soothe us and help us recover from, and recall, a transformative experience. This anthology adds to the tradition of sharing stories in well-chosen words that move and enlighten us.

Book Synopsis Living with Coronavirus by : S T Kimbrough Jr.
Download or read book Living with Coronavirus written by S T Kimbrough Jr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of poems addresses the human effects of the coronavirus pandemic including: prolonged illnesses, death, disruption of society, families, the work force, and economy. There are the accompanying emotional effects of grief, distressed orphaned children, over-stressed hospital staffs, anxieties over the shortage of health workers, medication, and other medical needs. There are also increased incidents of suicide and numerous other emotional entanglements and physical conditions for which a country, city, village, and family are often not prepared. At times such as these, language becomes extremely important in how we communicate with one another. How we face the realism and facts of the moment is vital for the health of a person and a nation. One notes especially the importance of the language of political leaders at a time of national and global suffering. The poems also address issues the pandemic has brought into the open, such as racism, the vulnerability of the poor, and the importance of governmental leadership in a national and worldwide crisis. People of faith emphasize the importance of a faith response to our common humanity amid suffering. Among many other questions, they ask: How shall we live with the enduring problem of pandemics that require changing of attitudes and an ongoing concern for others?
