1Pandemic! The Delirious Variant is a collection of stories, thoughts and poems written during lockdown and beyond. Some pieces have music titles attached next to them. These were the music pieces Kurdi was listening to while writing that exact title. Enjoy this immersive and infectious experience.

I dedicate this book to my father Yasin Kurdi who left this world in 2018. I dedicate this book to my family and friends. Your support means the world. I want to thank the gift of music for offering an inspiration and an escape to me.
