| A Viral Poem: Meet the Unitarian Universalist Minister Lynn Ungar Who Wrote Pandemic |
April 02, 2021 |
|
Exquisitely ironic is one of the many comments on the Rev. Dr. Lynn Ungar’s Twitter account wall. Inspired to answer the call for poets in these uncertain times, Ungar quickly penned Pandemic. In three days, her post went viral. From Julia Roberts re-posting on her Instagram account to having her name become a trending hashtag, Lynn Ungar remains shocked by the chord she struck. She talks to us as she shelters in place from her home in Northern California about what inspired her.

From the Central Synagogue in New York to the Leake Academy in Madden, Mississippi, we hear how different themes emerge and in some instances, overlap.
