This chapbook, \u003cem\u003eIt’s So Quiet - 2020, a pandemic diary\u003c\/em\u003e, is a first person account, a diary of Covid days reflecting life during that time. Quarantine changed the world, cut us off from each other, boats without rudders. Floundering amidst an alien world, no end in sight, we clung to the tiny changes, glimpses of hopeful futures - and waited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving caught Covid at the beginning of March 2020, thinking it was my last days on this strange earth, I wanted to leave behind a chronicle of my life during the Pandemic. I began to write while in bed, difficult to breathe, recurring fevers, trapped alone in Quarantine. In\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s So Quiet\u003c\/em\u003e you’ll find a chronicle of personal experiences and observations of the world during that year. These poems are listed in the sequence in which they were written. Days captured, spent looking out cloudy windows, watching for subtle changes as the world tips and shudders. In the darkest moments I close my eyes and dream of the oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/susandipronio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSusan DiPronio\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Susan DiPronio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52059016528185,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0099\/3604\/4096\/files\/quietfront_360x_d80cb339-26bc-4e88-b016-022ce8e332bd.webp?v=1774727653","url":"https:\/\/southstreetartmart.com\/products\/its-so-quiet-2020-a-pandemic-diary-book-by-susan-dipronio","provider":"SouthStreetArtMart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
