This Will Remain With Us

This Will Remain With Us is a collection of poems written during the Covid-19 pandemic when Melissa Mendelson suddenly found herself declared an "essential worker."

In the midst of the turmoil, she turned to poetry to document and cope with the challenge of the lockdown, and isolation.

A philosophical, liminal, insightful collection of poetry from a difficult time for the collective soul.

Melissa R. Mendelson learned the art of poetry back in her high school days when she struggled to find her voice and release the emotions that she kept inside.  A lot of those emotions were turbulent, raw, and some of those poems could be found in her poetry collection, Tears of Sand.
