The subtitle of this book by the Italian author Dana Neri is 'Poetry in the Time of Coronavirus'. These are poems written during the covid-19 pandemic lockdown. In the midst of despair and solitude a glimmer of Hope makes its way, thanks to Poetry.
The cover depicts a stylised image of the ultrastructure of the Covid-19 virus. The book contains illustrations made by the author.
'Everything Will be ok: Poetry in the Time of Coronavirus' is the English translation of the book 'Andrà tutto bene: la Poesia ai tempi del coronavirus' (in Italian).
"Some abs, a couple of squats/a jog on the spot/and the day begins./One 'Hail Mary', one 'Our Father',/one 'Covid 19 Have Mercy on Us'/while getting out of bed./And everything is fine,/all set, all there,/where it has always been,/as if nothing happened./Let all Hope enter here/for anyone like me who wants to stay by the door./Go ahead, run,/I'm in no hurry."
