Cuarentena: A Collection of Forty Poems

by Steve Lang

The forty poems in Cuarentena explore orchids and archangels, saints and serpents, walruses and watchmen; they are uncompromisingly honest yet carefully crafted. Throughout the series, a clear, resonant voice accompanies us on a journey from biblical Babylon to the bowels of an overrun COVID hospital in El Salvador. This is ambitious poetry—challenging, lyrical, and poignant—that lays bare our human frailty but ultimately celebrates our resilience.
