Five Stars - "Modern-day classics for this messed-up world. I just read this whole book in one sitting" - Amazon review Within two weeks of moving to California, covid lockdowns began and riots broke out. Having never lived in Santa Monica before, forced isolation in a beachside studio provided Chenelle Bremont time to write poems about nature, the beach, languish, and hope. "H & L is a soulful, relatable, heart-felt collection of poems reflecting on a personal journey of living in isolation, loving, grieving, fearing, embracing the unknown, and finding hope and beauty in the world and one's self during the pandemic and a country divided by hate." - Amazon review This short book of poems reminds us that while we may have been isolated, we were not alone. It takes us on an uplifting journey from the first news of the pandemic, through isolation, and finally to a place of hope.
