​

Pandemic Poems and Pieces is a collaboration between pianist/poet Maggie Hinchliffe and composer Ben Morris during the 2020-2021 Coronavirus Pandemic. Maggie's poetry depicts various experiences living in quarantine, from ordering groceries online in pajamas to hiking socially distanced in the desert. Ben's accompanying piano miniatures reflect the spirit and imagery of each of the poems.
