Very Intense!
I saw the Covid 19 symbol on the cover and the book caught my eye. The poetry is very good. It is very intense and after reading the book, I get what the author was trying to convey with the book cover. The oppression that our society is going through with the epidemic and how it effects all us, is what the author I believe is trying to convey. No matter who you are, the content of this book can be relatable in some way.
