Each weekly record is written in rhyming couplets.

Posters and signs which appeared during the pandemic are also used as illustrations.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees. When we weren’t sheltering in place, we were advised to wear masks, wash our hands, and practice social distancing. We watched in horror as medical personnel worked around the clock to care for the sick and dying. Businesses were shuttered, travel stopped, workers were furloughed, and markets dropped. And people continued to die. Amid all this uncertainty, writers and artists from around the world continued to create comics, commenting directly on how individuals, societies, governments, and markets reacted to the worldwide crisis. COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology collects more than sixty such short comics from a diverse set of creators, including indie powerhouses, mainstream artists, Ignatz and Eisner Award winners, and media cartoonists. In narrative styles ranging from realistic to fantastic, they tell stories about adjusting to working from home, homeschooling their kids, missing birthdays and weddings, and being afraid just to leave the house. They probe the failures of government leaders and the social safety net. They dig into the racial bias and systemic inequities that this pandemic helped bring to light. We see what it’s like to get the virus and live to tell about it, or to stand by helplessly as a loved one passes. At times heartbreaking and at others hopeful and humorous, these comics express the anger, anxiety, fear, and bewilderment we feel in the era of COVID-19. Above all, they highlight the power of art and community to help us make sense of a world in crisis, reminding us that we are truly all in this together. The comics in this collection have been generously donated by their creators. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this volume are being donated by the publisher to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) in support of comics shops, bookstores, and their employees who have been adversely affected by the pandemic.
