Staying Home/Brian Kirk!



Perhaps the best poem I've come across on the Covid 19 Pandemic. The video and poem combined are ten out of ten. It is part of a sequence of poems by the Dublin writer, Brian Kirk, 'focusing on the theme of isolation and social distancing and the wider issues and challenges of community and family arising out of the current Covid 19 Pandemic'. (From the writer's website: Link to the right)

Brian Kirk is a poet, short story writer, playwright and novelist from Dublin, Ireland. His first collection of poetry, After The Fall is published by Salmon Poetry and his novel for children, The Rising Son is also available. Awards and credits; too numerous to mention. With thanks to Youtube and Brian for loading. A visit to his website for more information.
