Sometimes, big things happen. So big, that we don't even dare name them. We refer to moments instead. The day of. The night before. The morning after. We all hoped that 2021 would be The Year After.

But wherever tears and shivers prevail, poetry sweeps in, acting as our tissues and blankets, knitted together by poets from lock downed rooms around the world. We gathered these poems in our Anthology. Together, they form a quilt of virus vignettes. It shows the anxious nights of healthcare workers and sterile goodbyes via Zoom. It shows being infected, losing your senses, and struggling to breathe. In other words: it shows COVID-19 as it was.

With this Anthology, we hope to honour essential workers worldwide. We hope to draw attention to their importance. To their value. To the gruelling scenes they encounter and survive. We hope to give them more than applause - recognition, appreciation, and our gratitude.
