After Spruce... by Clay Thistleton

After Spruce: Poems in the Manner of Tom Jenks’ “Spruce” During the Time of the Coronavirus Pandemic is Five-Two contributor Clay Thistleton’s second collection of poems.

Focusing on the public health response to the pandemic in Australia and the United States, Thistleton uses contemporary British poet Jenks’ form of the juxtapositional tercet both to skewer his targets and to record an elegy for the world-wide suffering caused by COVID-19.
