These poems were written daily during the coronavirus pandemic from April 2020 through April 2022. I had participated in the National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo.net) during the month of April in years past, and as March became April became March became March again, I just kept writing, the way that some people maintained a sourdough starter. As a way of marking days that felt like no other, when even grocery shopping carried with it the weight of life-or-death risk, when ordinary moments could nevertheless crystallize into the hope of little stars, it only made sense to compile them into a book of days-days with an asterisk.
About the authorJoshua Keiter lives in Reston, Virginia with his spouse and daughter.
