The publication of this anthology comes a year into the Covid-19
pandemic. In the summer of 2020, we invited nineteen UK poets to
partner with poets from around the world, to work collaboratively
on poems responding to the virus. The poems herein are as personal
as they are communal, and as local as they are international.
Between them, the writers reside in all of the world's permanently
populated continents, recognising that the pandemic has truly hit
us everywhere. Their diversities of aesthetics and poetics, of
Covid experiences - at a distance and/or embodied, anecdotal and/or
dramatic - are further significant to their inclusion and their
work. The pairs of contributors are: Sinéad Morrissey and Jan
Wagner (trans. Iain Galbraith); Carol Leeming and Rakhshan Rizwan;
George Szirtes and Alvin Pang; Vahni Capildeo and Vivek Narayanan;
Rory Waterman and Togara Muzanenhamo; Rachael Allen and Ilya
Kaminsky; Zoë Skoulding and Yana Lucila Lema Otavalo; Inua Ellams
and Omar Musa; Matthew Welton and Hazel Smith; Vidyan Ravinthiran
and Arvind Krishna Mehrotra; Anthony Caleshu and Mariko Nagai;
Selima Hill and Wang Xiaoni (trans. Eleanor Goodman); Declan Ryan
and Linda Stern Zisquit; David Herd and Sharmistha Mohant; Luke
Kennard and Hwang Yu Won (trans. Jake Levine); André Naffis-Sahely
and Stacy Hardy; Harriet Tarlo and Craig Santos Pérez; Jennifer
Cooke and Jèssica Pujol Duran; Momtaza Mehri and A. E. Stallings.
