This collection of poetry grew out of the first months of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The poems reflect the fear, isolation, and horror we felt as society - as we watched public life close down, people were urged to stay distant from one another, wear face masks, and wash our hands frequently.
A poignant reflection on the pandemic experience through poetry.
Starfish on a Beach: The Pandemic Poems captures the fear, isolation, and horror of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Margaret Randall's poems offer solace and connection as they reflect on the changes and challenges brought about by the crisis.
This collection explores themes of social distancing, mortality, and the search for hope in uncertain times. It is for readers seeking to understand and process the pandemic's impact on society and the human condition. These poems offer concern, anger, and a vision for a different future.
