    About this ebook

    "Green's collection functions as a series of meditations on life during the coronavirus. While some of the poems are just a few lines long, they still manage to pack a punch that penetrates to the heart of the issue, which he explores from multiple perspectives, including nurses, animals, protesters, people on both sides of the political divide, recent graduates, those trying to make rent, prisoners, and black communities." — Union Square Review

     

    "Poems in Corona is not for the faint of heart. There is literature out there that will give you an escape from our reality—fluffy stories that will lighten your load. This is not one of those works. Green's poems will take you to the heart of our crisis. There's a vulnerability you will want to have while reading Green's poems, but if you are willing to take yourself there, maybe you can strive with him toward a future America that thrives in prosperity and equality." — Independent Book Review

     

    "Contemporary poetry does not have to be hurried or subpar. This chapbook combines excellent poetry with immediacy." — Arthur Turfa, Reedsy Reviewer

     

    Set during a pivotal period in America's history, Poems in Corona details the varied events of a modern day pandemic told from the perspective of a young poet while in quarantine. Jay Green attempts to make the most out of his own situation amidst "Stay-at-Home" orders, an economic shutdown, and protests and riots, as his nation is being tested during a time of great change and uncertainty.
