Why I chose this poem: Katrin has been penning and sharing new poems as the new realities of COVID-19 have been settling in. I believe that the arts will help get us through this crisis and I am so grateful to Katrin and countless other artists in our community who are capturing and preserving these strange moments with such grace and eloquence.
