What is this book about?
This anthology is the fragments of collisions of various poetic optics with reality. Its characters include a little angry truant rejoicing at the school closure, a young lady romanticizing love during the plague, a mother whose child has bilateral lung damage, a writer believing he will be saved by vodka, a former skeptic throwing a handful of earth on the coffin lid of his friend who died in a COVID ward, and a merrymaker ignoring the pandemic.

Coronavirus and poetry
Coronavirus and poetry have more in common than it seems. Coronavirus lives anywhere: in a Wuhan bat, in a cough plume, and on unwashed hands.

They say coronavirus is a myth, and poetry is dead. As a rule, those who have encountered neither say so.
