The Covid Years cover

This composite journal of the Covid Years is made up of the writings, artwork and photographs of twenty-seven contributors, whose ages at the time of writing or creating ranged from seven to over eighty. Most of them were in the UK but there are also contributions from Greece, Italy and the USA. The dated entries run from March 2020 to January 2023. Responses to the strange and disturbing years we have lived through range from the sorrow and anger of bereavement through calm reflections and gentle humour to mockery and bitter satire directed at some of our political leaders. It includes memorial tributes to two contributors who died during these years, and it is dedicated to all the staff of the NHS for their extraordinary devotion under incomparable difficulties. Colenso Books will donate any profits from the sale of this book to charities which benefit the UK National Health Service and its staff.
