Poems were written during the time of COVID-19 and capture the interplay between the natural and human worlds. Moments of recalling long forgotten memories, observation, and feeling are conjured into simple poems that transcend both time and place.

Diane Alleva Cáceres’ first collection of haiku is informed by childhood memories in Maryland exploring with her siblings the woods next to her family home and the beaches of Assateague Island; daily life over the last few years in Georgia; and annual summer visits to Lewes, Delaware with extended family. Her poetry is inspired by the works of Matsuo Basho, Jane Reichhold, Robert Hass, Jane Hirshfield, and Emily Dickinson.
