by Angela Marston
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A collection of brilliant poems written by people working on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic All revenues received by HarperCollins directly from sales of this ebook will be donated to NHS Charities Together for their Covid-19 appeal. Angela Marston is a retired Palliative Care Nurse who spent nearly 40 years in the NHS and Hospice services. She wrote her first poem whilst self-isolating with Covid-19 and, when she recovered, collected poems from other key workers and people affected by the virus. She created an anthology of poems from nurses, doctors, and teachers; pharmacists and journalists; child protection officers and food bank volunteers. From people aged 9 to 92. From established poets and writers. From heroes. Poems for a Pandemic is that anthology. It is a valuable collection of first-hand accounts – of love, of grief, of fear, and of hope – that explores the global effort to rescue humanity from the teeth of an invisible enemy. And it comes direct from the people that don capes and masks in order to go save the world. This is history in the making,' Angela says, 'and these poems recordfor all eternity the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people at an extraordinary time.'
