On Sunday, March 22, 2020, the state of California shut down, and fantasy author Michael H. Payne found himself with no church to go cantor at that morning, no radio show to host at the local university that afternoon, and no library for him to clerk at the next day.So he decided to write a poem every day till the library reopened to the public. That ended up being on June 7, 2021, and this volume collects all 443 poems that resulted.
