This is a Poetry Anthology of experiences throughout lockdown. The reflections,
tedium, anxiety, coping strategies and the hope and optimism nature has brought us.
Curator and Publisher Elaine Catherine Christie says the reason she wanted to put the collection together is because she has had to call for help with many a suffering animal and the RSPCA have been a beacon of light and hope on every occasion and in return she wanted to help them at this difficult time.
Elaine says” I’m sure you have all seen the TV adds calling for peoples support, the RSPCA rehomed 792 animals last year, my fear is with lockdown ending, there will be a rise in more animals being abandoned abused and neglected. So I want to do everything in my power to help! My thanks go to all the poets and photographers I couldn’t have done it without them, so please join us and support the animals’.
