If God Is a Virus by Seema Yasmin

challenging dark informative fast-paced

4.5

Dr. Seema Yasmin documents the Ebola outbreak through poetry. Even though Covid isn’t mentioned, some of these poems are very applicable. Not only does this collection reflect on epidemics, it also has poems about Dr. Yasmin’s experience as a female doctor, the patriarchy and woman’s roles, and queerness in the medical community. I really enjoyed the poems that were formatted differently, like as a graphs and such. A fantastic collection, highly recommend!
