In the early days of the virus in the United States, Alice Quinn, former New Yorker poetry editor and former director of the Poetry Society of America, started asking poets what they were writing while sheltering in place.

Together in a Sudden Strangeness offers beautiful poems about every fact of life that’s changed in this pandemic: Grief, fear, hope, loneliness, awe, bravery, and everything in between.
