    About this ebook

    This is a collection of topical and whimsical poems written during the pandemic when the world felt dark and hopeless. These poems not only seek to shed light on the frustration and sadness of this period but also to find heart and humor during a time of social upheaval and great pain. This book is for people who enjoy poetry but long to read pieces that are accessible and entertaining. From the simple joy of buying a new hat to the heartbreak of losing a friend to observations about Black Lives Matter, there is something here for everyone.
