Pathology of a Pandemic is a collection of poems that was written during the onslaught of the novel corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. Teenagers, young adults, and mature adults will find this book of poetry captivating because the voice in each poem is different from the others ranging from a deceased grandmother, a physically disabled person, to the never ending passion of those who stand against all types of oppression, discrimination and systemic racism. Common issues of identity, death, anti-Black racism, the power of love and its ability to heal the human spirit run throughout the anthology of poems. The collection is a creative chronicle and documentation of the individual and collective experiences we have faced during the 2020 pandemic. Pathology of a Pandemic is a mirror of ourselves that, hopefully, will allow us to see our strengths and weaknesses and help us create a better world for ourselves and others.

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

Kitty O’Meara, author of And the People Stayed Home, has been called the “poet laureate of the pandemic.” This illustrated children’s book (ages 4-8) will also appeal to readers of all ages. O’Meara’s thoughtful poem about the pandemic, quarantine, and the future suggests there is meaning to be found in our shared experience of the coronavirus and conveys an optimistic message about the possibility of profound healing for people and the planet. Her words encourage us to look within, listen deeply, and connect with ourselves and the earth in order to heal. O’Meara, a former teacher and chaplain and a spiritual director, clearly captures important aspects of the pandemic experience. Her words, written in March 2020 and shared on Facebook, immediately resonated nationally and internationally and were widely circulated on social media, covered in mainstream news media, and inspired an outpouring of creativity from musicians, dancers, artists, filmmakers, and more. The many highlights include an original composition by John Corigliano that was premiered by Renée Fleming.

COVID-19 spread like wildfire around the globe in 2020. Country after country experienced massive shutdowns, introduced measures like masks, social distancing, and quarantines, and found hospitals and health services stretched to the limit as infection rates and deaths soared. In these poems, written for the large part during the first wave of the pandemic, Philip Resnick offers his own take on what was to become a world turned upside down. He writes of the fear which the virus engendered, the angst and shattered illusions many experienced, the overtones of Apocalypse and end of time that hung over the unfolding events. He looks to historical and political analogies or precedents. He taps literary sources as disparate as the Greek tragedians, Dante, Matthew Arnold, Anna Akhmatova, Federico Garcia Lorca and Borges in writing about our situation. He wrestles with his personal reactions to an event without precedent in his lifetime. The result is a body of work that bears vivid witness to what so many of us have experienced this past year. For what the author presents through these poems are reflections on a pivotal event that none of us living through it are likely to forget.

Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.

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.
