For the first week of #MITReadsPoetry, we're going to use some awesome poems to discuss frustration and isolation. For many of us, this situation changed so rapidly that it almost felt like whiplash trying to adjust from our former lives to the new daily flow. Temporary or not, we've found ourselves cut off from the outside world, and stuffed into our living situations which may or may not be well suited to spending entire days and nights. As the Covid-19 crisis continues, many of us find ourselves reaching out to others to find a way to cope with our isolation and frustrations. The importance of art in dark times cannot be overlooked.
We're asking that you use some of your time to engage with us and these poems, but really, we just want to know...
