Plague Poems

*

The Plague Poems are an attempt to document the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first Plague Poems were posted on Twitter by the account @PlaguePoems on March 15, 2020. Since then, new poems have been posted to that account, as well as to the Instagram account @plague_poems, at a rate of roughly four per day, Monday through Friday. The poems are collected and republished by week here.

This list is updated weekly.
