OBSESSION / COVID-19 by Robert Fitterman

Author: Robert Fitterman

Publisher: Ugly Duckling Presse (2020)

By changing the title of a poem from 1989, Fitterman produces a new poem that encapsulates the emotional and physical distancing of the coronavirus pandemic in New York in the spring of 2020. The new poem works in dialogic relation to the earlier minimalist expression of desire.

Double-sided mini-broadside with two poems, printed letterpress from metal type in March of 2020 in an edition of 500.
