Synopsis

On March 12th, 2020, much of the normality as we knew it in New York City would abruptly become a thing of the past. On March 19th, acclaimed Playwright, Poet and Novelist, Daniel Damiano, would begin writing a poem a day. Some poems would reflect the news of the day in various ways, while others would contain more personal revelations. Collectively, they are intended to reflect a perspective of an era that we will likely not soon forget.

"This collection provides us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the emotions of the pandemic through an assortment of delicate and ferocious moments captured daily since March." - Creative Drive Podcast

"Lovely and very powerful. It speaks of a collective experience and truth that, though Damiano makes very personal, can be a reflection for us all in our individual experiences. - Reading his words is in many ways healing and cathartic, a way of recognizing the trauma that we have all sustained while also helping us to focus on our shared and individual humanity." - Notes from the City
