The history books dealing with the corona plague have not yet been written.
However, corona poetry has been written vigorously, almost since the outbreak of the plague, and poetry books are now being published in which the corona plays a major role.
One of these books is How to Deal with the Situation, the third book of poetry by the poet and author Mia Tevet Dayan.
The first third of Tevet Dayan's new book openly and completely exposes a personal and family worldview from the days of the closures. There is not a single gram of false nostalgia, idealization or sweetening of the pill in these songs - things are described as they are, for all the difficulties of being a woman, wife and mother in the days of closure. For example, the book opens, "I Aosrt upon Hildot spell At Hmlh" Ama "/ on second eight Barb. Tbino, I is to say Lhn, / Anhno Sgorot hither long ago Smonh new head and Ani // Hibt Lhtzil At Atzmi. [...] ay long ago Ishbo At This judgment / all life. "
Indeed, the opening book section wonderfully describes a variety of small events and distinctions that present the daily and personal epidemic experience, and the mental state in need of rescue. Tevet's poetry is characterized handsfree sensitive enough and directed combines black humor sometimes say, "What day is Hiom? / When Htrhtzti Bfam last entry? / Htrning Hzh Ali leastways Slosh Lilot. [...] I stopped At Hnsimh Lsti Como, / Britzh Lmalh, For out of the stairway came forth // a messenger without a mask.
While firing pandemic successful poet to combine a sober look, a fresh, funny and touching at the same time, the parity during Sources: "Do doubles Saomrim this one Lzo / supposing Lhtka Cl Cc Hrbh tense home address / Az Just a Atc. Anhno Aomrim / Shgaodh Cmhin Mntzht // excluding Throt At relic Hgbinot Bmkrr ", and parental experience of her daughters:" caressing Hbcorh Sli is to say At Hama is it because of favor Baolm, and Ani is to say Lh Anhno Hibot quit with Hmsftim Halh, there is not Amhot it because of Tobot Baolm, I Aflo not Btohh Sadin Do eternity ".
Apart from the wonderful and tight corona songs, the book also includes many songs that do not deal with the plague. It has beautiful and pathos-free loss songs; Some of them are songs about the poet's mother, whose loss also houses Tevet Dayan's previous books, some of them are songs about the death of Orit Mosinson, her good friend, and even hides a sweet and moving memory song for her dead bitch.
Many of the poems in the book deal with the experience of parenthood and femininity. Even these songs the poet knows how to combine the direct speech, serious and painful at times, and a sense of humor that covers the wound: "I Mhsbt: Asr Famim Bsah, / one hundred Bimmh, two thousand and Smonh / Maot Htcoff and Iot Bhds. / And Bhftzim: Hmsh Asr thousand / Fritim Sis Lhsib Lmkomm. / Krati ever been Scabim Bgb Thton // Nobaim Mdagot Clcliot. / this one Bth Nctb by means of Gbr. Cmo Neither do // tale Hbriah. and Htorh Clh. / Btn"c Sli, god does it cost Mn Hcior / Barb, Cshmtbh innocent. "
Record dealing with the female experience, but the fact of human experience, is "honored customer service site Victoria's Secret", which opens this way: "I Cotbt Lcm Banin Hhzih / Mdgm night black with Cocbim, / Snmcrt Basrim and Arba Tsaim Batr. / Htzatm appeal Alicm Bcl problem". From there, Tevet Dayan recounts the ecological problems in the production of bras, the psychological problems in the bras industry, which encourage a negative body image, and especially the advertising illusion in the bras industry in particular and in the advertising industry in general, whose promise denies connection to the painful reality: At this age. There is a lover for both of them / and the third husband left in the middle / of the night,And this black bra - / can you assure me that it is / of the kind that you do not leave? "
In a well-crafted and mature third book, by a well-developed and wise poet, Tevet Dayan manages to imprison, in deliberate and precise spoken poetry, the problems of a woman, mother, wife, daughter and sister at this time in general and in the days of the Corona in particular.
The sober poetic look, which tends to a psychological-spiritual-ecological-feminist prism, manages to illuminate the songs in an existential light relevant to life, and thereby provide a refuge from the daily confrontation with the present - to offer a way to cope with the situation.
