note = "Creative practitioners around the world have been producing work that engages with, reflects on, and refracts the image of a global catastrophe: the COVID-19 pandemic. This work was written in response to a call for 'sudden writing' -- the sort of work that represents (comparatively) unmediated practice, and as such contributes to a snapshot of immediate experiences. There is a long history of such practice, with perhaps the best known being Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. These two poems along with the 85 other (short, sudden) works in this collection provide an international writerly response to this plague year, and are leading to more extended, more developed work focused on creative interventions to catastrophe.
