Poems for the Sheltered is a collection of short poems written from March through May of 2020 during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Poems for the Sheltered is a must read. Read it now. Why the urgency? Because you need to remember the insanity of the time portrayed by the words of Andy's poetic masterpieces. You need to recall the need to laugh (which will never end), or the need to think (which more of us should do), or the need to cry (which helps cleanse the spirit). This book fulfills all of these needs through Andy's short, but potent, literary gems.I dare you to read about Bill and Pat and not get emotional. And then you will read it over and over again. In truth, the family of Bill and Pat, real people, did exactly the same thing. I dare you to read about the nurses, the toilet paper caper, the screw and cigarette, and the other snippets of real life moments without smiling or smirking. This book is filled with things you thought, but didn't have the skill to say. Andy does, and did, and makes us want more poems, but not more pandemics.Jim Burgett
