We watched as the numbers of deaths mounted and agreed that it was the worst health crisis we’d experienced in a hundred years. What we longed for were stories about people lost to the insidious virus\, and those left behind. We wanted stories of survival\, coping\, finding our way to the future. In making much of the mundane\, 53 poets share 70 poems in the anthology A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic. The poems\, by diverse and award-winning writers\, capture and share the collective Covid. They reveal that we were brave in our contemplative journey. This anthology adds to the tradition of sharing stories in well-chosen words that move and enlighten us. \n  \nMichael Bosworth recently returned to writing poetry and creative nonfiction after a 45-year hiatus. He is on the board of the Brattleboro Commons newspaper in Vermont and an active member of WriteAction in Brattleboro. \n  \n  \nElayne Clift is an award-winning writer and journalist whose work appears in numerous publications and anthologies internationally.

This is her 4th anthology. \n  \nMarion Deutsche Cohen is the author of 32 collections of poetry and memoir. Her prose and poetry collections include Not Erma Bombeck: Diary of a Feminist 70s Mother\, and The Discontinuity at the Waistline: My #MeToo Poems. She teaches Mathematics in Literature at Drexel University. \n  \n  \nBarbara Crooker is a poetry editor for Italian-Americana\, author of twelve chapbooks and nine poetry books\, including Some Glad Morning\, published in 2019 by the University of Pittsburgh Poetry Press. Her awards include the WB Yeats Society of New York Award. \n  \n  \nCharlotte Friedman teaches Narrative Medicine at Barnard College.
