- I decided to do “Pandemic Haiku by Gregg Bordowitz while reading this, I definitely felt a massive connection because like so many other people we had to shift our lifestyles. When the pandemic first started we didn’t know what to do and how life would be the next day. So we needed to adjust and move on. The tone of this poem seems to be very serious but mellow as well because it had many emotions that went on during this pandemic. The rehtorical properties of this piece contributed to its meaning because we all have come across these feelings and thoughts while the pandemic first started. It is important to note that the audience include literally everyone who is alive as of right now since we all had to experience it.
2. This text resonates with social concerns of the present because many people have been truly hurt and even afraid of what could come next in their lives. It almost felt as if we were all living the same lives when the poet said “Food delivery Box left outside doorbell ring Privilege greets air”. The text resonates with political concerns because many people want to find who they were before the pandemic started and get back to their regular lives as well.
3. Art could have a bigger impact on these social and political concerns then many people actually think. Since there are so many ways to express and make art, it should be approached more often since it would gain more interest and attention from the people.
