Quarantine Poems
Poetry
2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine (legally imposed or self-imposed) we are experiencing a rise in online meetings. For me I finding that I am spending more time in online "meetings" than I ever was before, creating a new sense of connection, community, and conversation. However, no matter how many meetings I attend at different times, places, or with different people all meetings are in some way revolving around the pandemic. These series of poems are documenting real meetings and synthesizing the group understanding and emotional responses to the pandemic. The words used come directly from the meeting, but are arranged, listed, and placed to create a more creative and poetic understanding of the conversation.
