This is the 8th volume in a series of anthologies. Over the years, this series, and its parent event, has featured hundreds of poets and hundreds of written works, for the enjoyment of thousands of people who have gathered in the Village year after year on January 1st, New Year’s Day, to hear these words spoken in person. But this is sadly the second year in a row in which Covid-19 has interrupted the historic live-reading event, the Alternative New Year’s Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza! But those voices aren’t silent. In their assemblage, aggregation, and diversity, they still scream loud from the empty stages of the The Village in New York City — and beyond — to let us know: « The Poet never dies! » ...They just drift in and out of this world like the northern winds which bring the summer rains. But, in this case, in the middle of winter. While the Earth may be cold, the breath of the Poet is hot. Steamy. Sticky. Passionate... With Love in the Time of Corona, you may not be able to bring a poet home with you on New Year’s, but you can still invite a few in via the written word. 103 poets and artists who will happily whisper in your ear, one after another, like An Embroidery Of Voices. — Un Bordado De Voces.
