A lethal plague sweeps the globe. Millions have died. Survivors are confined to their homes.Gabriel passes his time in a small New York apartment on the city’s Upper West Side. During the plodding solitude of the lockdown, he observes several strangers in their nearby apartments. As he watches them struggle to survive a world at risk of extinction, he wonders about their lives-where they’re from, what they value, how they’re coping with a deadly contagion. All alone, he develops a vague yet important connection to these people, an affection for those who are struggling to survive isolation, fear and looming death.Told in powerful, spellbinding free verse, Gabriel’s observations grow deeper and more elaborate as the endless days pass. But when he and a woman from across the street begin to watch each other from afar, his imagination begins to collide with the bleak reality of the times.Praise for A Plague of Mercies'... a captivatingly unconventional love story ... brilliantly observant poetry that captures a dark moment in our recent history.' -Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)Praise for Adam Pelzman’s The Boy and the Lake'Pelzman excels at creating an intensely atmospheric setting and revealing how it shapes his characters’ identities and worldviews ...
