In this new largely digital society we find ourselves in, connecting with each other and navigating a way through society as a whole is something we find ourselves struggling to relearn. "A Ritual to Read to Each Other" talks about how we maintain society, but how does that look in a remote environment? How might what we learn from it translate into a post-lockdown society?
How does this poem make you think about the ways in which you see society connecting right now? How we diverge? What do you think the central message is and do you agree with it? In a time of misinformation and widespread panic, how important is it that we be clear and unified?
