Virtual MOCA hosts a reading of poems from the volume “In Absentia: Reflections on the Pandemic,” edited by Nkosi Nkululeko, Emily O’Neill, and April Ranger, and released by Bicycle Comics. The editors have chosen a selection of poets who will read their contributions from the volume.
Written during the early weeks of the Covid-19 virus outbreak in North America, the poems of "In Absentia'' document cultures on the cusp of devastation. The poems capture the fear, the grief, the defiance, and the hope of that first wave.
Poems and readings selected and edited by Nkosi Nkululeko, Emily O’Neill, and April Ranger. Participating poets include C. Bain, Molly Bess Rector, Aaya Perez, Liv Mammone, Siaara Freeman, and Marina Weiss.
