Description
BEFORE THE AFTER critically captures the COVID-19 pandemic with passion through the eyes of a poet, woman and keen observer of life. Poems on adapting to the new environment - political and medical, raging against a virus that has impacted us all and lamenting how this reflects a mistreatment of mother earth guide us through the months of lockdown with humor, wit and sometime harsh light.

Advance Praise
“Blending humor, disappointment and wisdom, Mary Anne invites us to share her travels navigating a world altered by the rise of Black Lives Matter and curtailed by COVID-19. Poetic vignettes narrate events cancelled due to the virus, an imaginative letter to humanity from a disappointed Gaia, how life during the time of coronavirus has radically changed. She explores what we have lost and how we transform and adapt.”
—Dr. Jennifer Lagier, Author of Camille Comes Unglued and Dystopia Playlist.
“Read this book straight through! Images in every poem build on the ones before to grow poem-by-poem increasingly profound. Lyrical words firing wonderful images - stanza by stanza, poem by poem - dig an entrance into unexpected depth.
Sometimes single words dissolved me through a floor I always saw as solid. If you want intellectual poetry, go elsewhere. For lyric poetry to enchant you - stay here - read this book!”
—John Calkins, author of Dad, Demons, Dames and a Dwarf: My Trip Down Freedom Road with Mancow Muller
