    Imagine the world you want to live in
    Long after the pandemic has ended
    Let’s fight for a new one and not give in
    Until the broken parts have been mended

     

    100 Sonnets For Our Time offers a lyrical glimpse of the most unusual time many of us have lived through. Jeff Wyman examines the pandemic, political climate, loves found and lost, nostalgia, and more in a series of sonnets that are more conversational than most, but maintain all the proper elements of the structure. These topical and hopeful verses will help anyone through rough times.
