Lockdown Fragments: A Poetry Chapbook

All through 2020, I watched in horror as freedoms were lost and people were exposed to inhumane conditions in the name of safety. I could not stay silent and spoke up in a way that is meaningful to me: poetry.

As a former English teacher and writer, writing poetry was the way that I express myself the best.

This small book of poems is focused on the human cost of the lockdowns to children, the elderly, and small businesses. A powerful and heartbreaking read. 

I have set up the payment as "pay what you want for this book." If you can't afford anything right now, please take this book as my gift for you. If you would like to bless me, I appreciate that, too. To purchase, put your price, whatever you would like to pay, in the price button above.
