Lockdown
No. 39 in the ESAW Mini Series is an anthology of poems selected as a sequence that covers the nationwide Lockdown period in New Zealand, from March to May 2020. The poems are written by three Wellington poets Alex Jeune, Margaret Jeune and Mark Pirie and records their individual responses to the Lockdown, from quite different personal perspectives of the period. The book is a snapshot of three New Zealand writers’ personal views and does not purport to capture everyone’s feeling and thoughts over the lockdown period. Also included are several of photographer Margaret Jeune’s lockdown photos.
