Poems in the Time of Covid - Theresa Jones
Theresa Jones was born in Newry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. Her career involved the teaching of Religious Studies and English in Birmingham and Solihull schools. In 2006 she was ordained priest in the Anglican Church.
A rich source of inspiration for her poems stems from an interest in World Religions, Classical Studies, Ancient History and Philosophy. These interests led to a PhD, an interdisciplinary study, which focuses on the concepts of the Sublime and the Numinous.
This collection includes poems written during 'lockdown' at the time of the global pandemic 2020-22, atraumatic moment in history.Other poems in the collection span previous years. While some of the poems offer hopeful encouragement others invite reflection on a range of issues which both challenge and disturb.
