Have you ever wondered what survivors of Covid-19 virus have had to overcome? Those who have recovered from the virus: Can you explain with great detail your experience in battling this extremely contagious virus?
The ongoing hustle of 21st Century life with all the familiar stresses and strains, give rise to the reality that we may all face some form of the virus. This personal story in poetry and prose, accessible to a broad audience, describes survival at home in isolation at an epicenter of the pandemic in Madrid-Spain. Learn how to counter-attack this powerful virus in natural ways, using the integration of body, mind, and soul. This edition features some bilingual sections in Spanish. La gu�a pr�ctica est� en ingl�s y espa�ol.

Rosalinda, native of California, not only describes with poetry and prose the six weeks of her personal battle with the virus, but gives us a guideline of her recovery through humour, yoga and love. Poetry and practicality merge in this unique survival journal that integrates art and science describing all of the symptoms, tribulations, pains, and emotional stress a person with COVID-19 must defeat as well as reference section.

Es una historia personal que abarca desde la aparici�n del virus, pasando por el punto �lgido del ataque del virus y finalmente el desafiante camino a la recuperaci�n. La poes�a (en ingl�s) va acompa�ada y contextualizada a trav�s de la secci�n equivalente del libro llamada 'Mi aprendizaje', que se presenta en espa�ol. Esta secci�n trata principalmente de la reacci�n de su cuerpo al Covid-19 as� como de consejos sobre c�mo lo afront� ella durante seis semanas. Adem�s, explica la mentalidad que le permiti� mantenerse centrada y b�sicamente permanecer tranquila durante todo el per�odo del virus, mientras estaba en casa aislada.

Rosalinda Ruiz Scarfuto, PhD is a native Californian, published poet, multimedia artist. She is a poet-painter and researcher investigating the 3D poetic canvas with tactile perception. Rosalinda began her artistic career with ceramics and poetry. She has lived and traveled from Japan to Spain walking the land including the Himalayas and Kenyan bush. Her first trip around the world was a 5-year sojourn completed by the age of 26. Over the years she has continued studying ceramics adding photography, Hanga, painting and jazz to her repertoire. Her prolonged stays in Asia fostered her Buddhist philosophy. Rosalinda is never far from her roots in California and is available for international workshops about the Forest Flaneur methodology she developed in her doctoral thesis including creative writing, painting, and mindfulness. She enjoys her organic garden and yoga in her free time.

Reviews for A Poet's Survival Journal in the Covid-19 Pandemic: Mind, Body and Soul Reflections

A Poet's Survival Journal in the Covid-19 Pandemic has transformed the way I thought about Covid-19. One of the greatest lessons I learned from Rosalinda's journey is the importance to integrate and empower one's mind, body and soul to overcome any illness or obstacle that comes across your life. Rosalinda's poetry takes the reader through real feelings, like we say in Spanish en carne propia (in one's own flesh). This brave author had the courage to overcome, learn and now teach us how to battle this virus head on. Ramon Silva Ruelas, California-USA Founder of Tonatiuh- Danzantes del Quinto Sol Facing the virus through art, poetry, yoga, humour and love, Rosalinda wrote herself back to her characteristic vigorous and healthy self. As a whole, the book offers solace and survival guide in equal measure. The poetic chapters, written intensely while going through the peak of the virus attack, have a surreal quality approaching automatic writing. Rosalinda's positive, humourous and quirky approach to surviving and thriving in the pandemic is invaluable and accessible to every reader. It will stand inarguably as a historical important text written at an extraordinary time in human existence. Dr. Angela Thwaites, London Artist-Researcher
