Ann E. Wallace had to fight for language just as she had to fight for air in her journey with Long Covid, and the poems here are hard won marvels, full of insight and compassion and fiercely nurtured hope. Here, the world becomes poem-the virus is a mad villanelle, each of us a stanza braided to the other to the other, /with no beginning and no end. Here, breath is painful and precious, never taken for granted. I could feel my own breath change as I read this necessary collection, this important chronicle of our pandemic era. ..for every/piece of you that has broken, the poet reminds us, a new angle/becomes visible. I'm so grateful for all the new angles Wallace makes visible in these pages, for the narrative she's woven from and about our ruptured time.
