From the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the murder of George Floyd, to months of simultaneous quarantine and protest, this is--in free verse and form, lamentation and meditation--a book of days, a survival kit for spiritual malady. These poems find small solace in domestic absurdities. Even in global crisis, there is the laundry. The dog rolls in something putrid, the child interrupts a Zoom meeting, and dinner must get made, again and again. Using language to travel and touch when bodies could not, Ruhl has drawn with great care a portrait of a year unlike any other in history.","brand":"Sarah Ruhl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44816587948074,"sku":"9781556596308","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/love-poems-in-quarantine-7659389.jpg?v=1789040532","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/love-poems-in-quarantine","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
