The Covid Chronicles: Poetry from the Pandemic

By James Thomas Fletcher

Poems that illuminate our subliminal fear in the face of unseeable peril as pandemic statistics become people we knew.

Self-confined in his neighborhood, Fletcher watches life continue and alter.

Outside my window everything
looks so normal until the package arrives
carried between surgical gloves.

He brings us vignettes that we have all witnessed, and does so with a touch of humor-both lite and dark-with writing that is warm and evocative.

This poet clearly finds solace in nature and his words provide us with comfort.

Together blue sky and green grass, sun and shadow
frolic in the slow waltz of day. Above, a zephyr
dispenses and disperses vats of buttery cloud

Poets observe and reflect. Fletcher's poetry reflects his observations in writing that appeals to a wide audience and speaks to the heart of our humanness.
