Book excerpt: “Staying Afloat during a Plague” by Jane Ellen Glasser opens with poems that recreate varied reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, many told through the persona of those impacted. A lifelong theme, the natural world is celebrated as teacher, healer, and muse while also addressing its abuse. At seventy-six Glasser still muses about the fallacies of romantic love, yet her heart stays young and yearns for connection. The book closes with existential meditations on life’s final chapter.
