“The year 2020. How do I begin? For it appears not to have start point.”
That is how Nanash rhetorically started her poem taking us down memory lane, of how 2020 had been like for everybody. She talked about how we showed up at the start of 2020 with not only hopes and aspirations, but also, resolutions. Unbeknownst to us, the bucket of surprises and a pack of incidences the year 2020 had in store for us.
Then she began to unravel them: The devastating bushfire in Australia, the advent of COVID-19 on a global scale, shuttering of plans and impending projects, untimely deaths, racism, political violence, earthquakes, etc.
She closed the poem by iterating the point that 2020 has taught us a mound of lessons that we need to keep in our chest for guidance in the years ahead.
