June 2020 saw the release of an anthology of national lockdown poems by myself, Alex Jeune and Margaret Jeune.
I put together the sequence from our poems written during the COVID-19 national lockdown period, March to May 2020, in New Zealand.
The book gives three differing perspectives by New Zealand poets on the global crisis and is our personal responses to it. Our book is not meant to speak for everyone’s thoughts and feeling during the lockdown period in New Zealand. We hope it gives an affirming sense to readers of what we have all been through and endured during the lockdown in New Zealand.
It is published in the relaunched ESAW Mini Series (No. 39).
