Synopsis

'This is a very good book about the pandemic. Everything written is so true and it's kinda sad. COVID did take away our lives as we saw it. Everyone knows that hi!and adapt o things pretty easy. We had to change our lives because of this stupid virus that came from an animal. As I said hi!and are adaptable. Every haiku and poems on this book are so true. It's a good book and I liked it.' CP.

Pandemica collection of vibrant, emotive poems written to chronicle and celebrate the lives of ordinary people living through the Covid-19 pandemic. Often it is the little things that see people through such times which are then forgotten.

It is a memory of the nationwide Thursday night clap for the NHS on your doorstep and of children at home, their schools closed indefinitely, painting rainbows.Their parents taping them to front windows to bring a message of hope and thanks to the key workers who continued to work throughout the pandemic. Pandemica records the triumphs and ebullience of the human spirit in times of adversity.

'Pandemica is a beautifully crafted poem of the covid that visited the world in the year 2020. This is a good book to read and it left a good memory. I love the haiku style and other types of poems in the book. This is the second time reading a book by this author. Recommended!' SA
