Rate this book
POEMS 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 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.

Lovely little book. Really reminded me of what so many people went through during lockdowns and a good reminder to how grateful I am we are on the other side of it all.
Really witty writings from the heart.

I first heard of Jan as I went to watch Henry Normal perform in Southampton and Jan was performing her poetry too! She was warm and witty and immediately I purchased both her books! This one is mainly poems written around covid times -some funny some poignant but each will touch your heart!
