Trapped during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, struggling with the mental health issues associated with restrictions about meeting family and going out, Trisha Doherty accepted her partner's challenge to write a poem every day. This snapshot of her experience of those four months of lockdown is the result.
We all have to face death: that of our loved ones, and our own mortality. We tremble with fear, and grief is heart wrenching. In these times it is important to appreciate how death can bring people together, and ignite connections through shared memories. Death shows us that life needs to be celebrated. Through her poetry and prose, Trisha Doherty explores tough themes as a way to work through difficult - but decidedly human - emotions.
