Americorona

Arts & Literature

“Philip Kolin’s Americorona captures the essence of the pandemic with heartfelt compassion and careful attention to medical, economic, and social details. His poems share in the tragedy as well as the victories of health-care providers, their patients, and their families. Kolin’s poems reflect the fragility and struggles of the human condition during the pandemic by insightfully focusing on what we must do not only to survive but to conquer fear and uncertainty.”
