2020

A Poetry Collection by CS Parker

In a year the world stood still, the words kept moving.

2020 is a raw, reflective, and intimate journey through one of the most pivotal years in modern history. In this searing collection, CS Parker captures the emotional pulse of a world reeling from a global pandemic, racial reckonings, political unrest, and profound personal isolation. These poems are quiet moments of panic and clarity, journal entries from lockdowns, elegies for lost normalcy, and protest cries rising from the streets.

Through minimalist verse and evocative imagery, Parker threads personal vulnerability with collective trauma-documenting the dissonance of empty cities, Zoom goodbyes, masked strangers, and the strange beauty of resilience in uncertainty.

This is not just a book of poetry. 2020 is a time capsule of grief, hope, stillness, and transformation. It's for those who lived it, lost through it, and are still learning how to breathe again.
