When the Person Who is Called COVID Came is a profound poetic reflection on the unprecedented global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this powerful chapbook, celebrated Ghanaian-American poet Apiorkor Seyiram Ashong-Abbey explores the emotional, spiritual, and psychological aftermath of a near-apocalyptic moment in modern history.
✨ Through over twenty riveting poems, Apiorkor weaves Verse Journalism—a rare narrative form that fuses poetry with reportage—to convey the untold stories of grief, adaptation, resilience, and hope.
✨ With a strong Ghanaian and African lens, the collection explores how the pandemic reshaped our love lives, work, family, faith, identity, and collective philosophies.
✨ This chapbook is more than a creative work—it is a historic document of survival, emotion, and global interconnection told from a distinctly African female voice.
✨ Beautifully written and hauntingly insightful, this work offers catharsis, remembrance, and celebration of human tenacity during one of the 21st century's darkest moments.
