What Are The Best Poems About Quarantine?

Conclusion

The poems we’ve explored demonstrate the power of poetry to capture all that is felt during a time of quarantine. 

They remind us how important it is for those sick and confined not to be forgotten or left behind but rather to be supported by loved ones and community members as they recover from their illness. 

Poetry can help people express what might otherwise go unspoken- the fear, anger, hope, and love accompanying this experience. 

Some poets have found creative ways to keep in touch with friends through letters, while others find solace in words when there’s little else one can do except wait out the days until the next doctor’s visit. 

The poems in this anthology are a great way to start doing both of those things. We would love to hear your thoughts on them or any other quarantine poems you’ve read. What has been your favourite poem so far? Let us know.
