OverviewPOEMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS INSPIRED BY LOCKDOWN Before the COVID-19 global pandemic, Dubliner Jan was working as a freelance fashion stylist and creative director. Now, she is an experienced homeschool teacher, playground chaperone, cook, cleaner, fed-up walker and kitchen disco DJ. At the height of the restrictions, Jan’s own internal dialogue finally tumbled onto the page. The result is this book of poems: raw, honest and funny observations on family and relationships, on feeling a bit crap and being perfectly imperfect. Jan’s lyrical writings offer a fresh perspective on modern life, written with humour, heart and honesty. What Day Is It? Who gives a f*ck expresses all the rage, loss,fun and love that have stunned and occupied us since March 2020.
