Recenzii
Rainbow Punch is a lockdown legacy like no other. An anthology of 25 mixed-genre writings from 19 women, each with its own evocative illustration from one of six incredible female artists. Throughout the pandemic, drawing rainbows became a global phenomenon and this sign of hope unites each piece in the anthology. Whether representing togetherness, self-determination or kindness, this collection also recognises those left with a legacy of struggles – including the 1.3 million people living with long Covid – and seeks to celebrate the continued strength within all of us. Rainbow Punch showcases wide perspectives from twelve different countries, from motherhood across the ages, to dedicated healthcare workers, bereaved friends and fantastical imaginings. This book is a spectacular tribute to our tenacity in difficult times and documents a landmark moment in shared global culture. It is a must-have on every bookshelf, ready for the time all pandemic babies ask the inevitable question - what was life like when I was born?
'For many, lockdown felt like a pendulum, swinging and swaying, forever trying to find a balance between emotions. Sometimes joy could be found in a slower pace of life, yet there was the sorrow of missing family, friends and colleagues. People’s experience of love was heightened, as were their losses. Rainbow Punch, an anthology of poetry and prose teamed with original illustrations, is a celebration and commemoration of those lockdown days, and it brims with colour and vigour and hope.' - Laura Besley, author of (Un)Natural Elements, 100neHundred & The Almost Mothers'A sensitive and astute exploration of the challenges, gifts and peculiarities of being a new parent amidst a global pandemic. The theme of rainbows is interpreted with insight and curiosity. A beautiful collection and time capsule.'- Rosemarie Corlett, Plymouth Laureate of Words
