Book excerpt: A stunning debut collection of poems and photography that will make you pause and take your breath away.With a keen artist's eye and laser sharp insights, Nicole Freezer Rubens takes you inside the pandemic bubble of New York City through the lockdown, the endless sirens, the protests, the salutes to those who cared for us, the loss of lives and freedoms, and then out the other side when the quarantine was finally lifted. The stark and often shocking beauty of her photographs tell the story of a city on pause-but it's the photos combined with the poetry that speaks volumes of lives upended that takes your breath away. You'll be swept up in a tidal wave of emotions and a love story to the "eternal flame of New York City that can never be extinguished."
