If God Is a Virus by Seema Yasmin

3.0

The fact that Yasmin wrote most/all of these poems well before covid is...something. The last two years have made explicit--over and over again--what is usually supposed to remain under a cloud of plausible deniability: that when some people are dying the powerful will drop everything to save lives, and when other people are dying we shrug and move on with our days.
