Covidity

Covidity is a collection of writing by members of Verulam Writers, inspired by the pandemic of 2020/21. Both poetry and prose are yours to discover, from factual and funny to fantastic and the downright fiendish.

If, under lockdown, you've become an armchair traveller, you'll find Covidity is the perfect vehicle. Look no further if you wish to travel the world in just one bite, indulge in a little daydreaming on the bus or pop up to Barnard's Castle for an eye-check.

The more adventurous could try bear hunting in the garden shed, don your hiking boots to tackle Lockdown Hills or, for the brave, see if your glad-rags still fit and go dancing. Tempted to get a pet-or fake one? We have cautionary tales for dog and cat lovers alike. A spot of turkey transformation will have you mesmerised as might Magda's skulduggery as she secures a fortune-not to mention Wilf's dastardly plans.

Still bored with lockdown? Let us cheer you up with some Positives from the Pandemic or twelve rounds of the virus versus the vaccine. If it comes to it, you can always build a sausage roll skyscraper…
