I immensely enjoyed reading Alex Morritt’s poems in “ Poetry in a time of Pestilence “. He has taken a current, very difficult subject, and presented it factually and compassionately, in poetic form. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Nice collection of poems for 2020. 2020 was a brutal year. This collection of poems is written well with wonderful words and alliteration. I like Conundrum the best.
