Love in the time of Covid consists of poetry pre-covid, and during, after, and into the eternal present. The pandemic disrupted the abnormality of normality trading its abnormalities for totalitarian edicts to see if people would do anything to stay alive, take a trip, to pretend things would be normal again if they submitted. A time of mask covered faces convinced by fear and propaganda, cowering, showing no smiles, nothing human. The time of unironically-developed-oxy-moronic-doublethink-language designed to confuse the ability to think critically. A time of 'social distancing', 'alone together', 'lockdowns', 'stay safe, stay home', 'trust the science', and all the other slogans designed to emphasis the importance of total compliance to the state and of submission to the 'science' and its infallible representatives bought and paid for by corporate industrial complexes, in turn paid by our government, paid by us. This PSYOP on humanity and all that is human, is still going on; albeit a bit defeated, a bit humbled, but we persist in living life. The human experience did/does not stop due to lockdowns, mandates, for-profit-vaccines, or masks. And these 22 poems reveal this continuity.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

It rockets,hovers, bounces, and dodges unknown particles only it sees, and now it is less than a yard away looking directly at me. It dives into one of the moonflowers and in...
