ISOLATION JOURNAL is three volumes of quirky ponderings and poetry, political commentary and weird wordplay, by poet Barb Reynolds. Volume One begins as Barb and her dog Blanca embark on their fourth month of COVID-seclusion. In an attempt to stay in touch with her sense of humor, and with the outside world via direct address, Barb chronicles these challenging and unprecedented times, feeding our collective soul with humor and wisdom, sowing seeds of compassion and food for thought. Barb ends the series as she and Blanca near the end of their first year, and as we joyously transition from the Trump nightmare to the competent & refreshing Biden/Harris administration.
