At the start of the coronavirus lockdown, Paul Cookson set out to write a poem a day - and kept on going. Featuring his opening five hundred poems, Volume One is an authentic and poetic discourse on the mood of the nation, composed with compassion, humour, and adroit takes on the day to day of life throughout challenging times. Illustrated by Martin Chatterton.

Ian McMillan ; "A modern take on Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. Brilliant." Paul Ross ; "Manages to season cogent observations with a dash of humour that makes you want to dip in again and again." Valerie Bloom MBE ; "A poet for all seasons and all occasions."
