Inspired by Paula Meehan’s poem, “Solace of Artemis”. The sliver format expresses the squeezed confinement of 2020's lock down year, its social distancing and remote schooling. It also reflects my anxiety and hopefulness for my children and all future generations during this approaching tipping point time of global climate change .
