In 2021, Ari Satok published “Love Too Can Spread,” a collection of poems that capture the strange and surreal times that the pandemic has brought with it. With poems about everything from grocery shopping to grief to Grandma’s never-ending challenges with Zoom, Ari will discuss how the book came to be and then read poems from it, engaging the participants in reflective exercises and discussions on their own experiences of the pandemic.
