Karen Mooney & Gaynor Kane’s ‘Penned In’ – A Preview

These poems are for you, for all of you.
They were written during the pandemic, mostly in the early months when we all became acutely aware of the heroes around us who bravely went about the business of saving lives as we stayed at home to do the same.
Those everyday heroes who went to work, ensuring the continuance of essential services and the volunteers who gave of their time and skills to support others.
Those who have endured pain, worry or anxiety through suffering and loss, perhaps even waiting on treatment for other health conditions. You too are heroes, as are those who struggle with their mental health just to get through each day.
We have all struggled to find ways to connect throughout this period, and we hope that these poems will contribute towards the many conversations around these unprecedented circumstances.
