ABSTRACT

During the global lockdown imposed by governments on people due to the outbreak of coronavirus – COVID-19, human beings were forced to stay home and follow tough restrictions; they turned to poetry for self-recollection and introspection as it provides them with an escape from their panic and anxiety. Approaching poetry was a panacea against the fatality of the disease; it had an enormous impact on their hearts and souls. This article is an articulation of the lockdown poetry that flourished in the age of coronavirus – COVID-19. Through this poetry, poets strived to build human connections with one another and establish a network society governed by verse and rhythmical prose. Drawing on the qualitative research method, I intend to explore the potential of lockdown poetry in curing public anxiety, healing stress and excessive fear. Central to my argument are the lockdown poems that went viral in the virtual world.

摘要

在政府因冠状病毒– COVID-19爆发而对人们实施的全球封锁期间，人们被迫留在家中并遵守严格的限制；他们转向诗歌进行自我反思和内省，因为诗歌使他们摆脱了恐慌和焦虑。接近诗歌是抗击这种疾病致命性的灵丹妙药。这对他们的心灵产生了巨大的影响。本文是在冠状病毒– COVID-19时代蓬勃发展的锁定诗歌的清晰表达。通过这首诗，诗人努力建立人与人之间的联系，并建立了由诗歌和有节奏的散文所统治的网络社会。我打算利用定性研究方法，探索锁定诗歌在治疗公众焦虑，治愈压力和过度恐惧方面的潜力。
