"People from around the world reflect on the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine through poetry ... In March 2021, the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University and the University of Arizona Poetry Center launched the website for the Global Vaccine Poem project, inviting anyone to share experiences of the pandemic and vaccination through poetry.
