At the start of the Coronavirus lockdown, Paul Cookson set out to write a poem a day - and kept going.
Featuring his opening five hundred poems, Volume One is an authentic and poetic discourse on the mood of the nation, composed with compassion, humour, and adroit takes on the day-to-day of life throughout challenging times.
