From unprecedented events that shaped the world to personal triumphs and losses, this article takes a closer look at the top twenty memories that defined the year 2020.

1. Global Pandemic and the COVID-19 Outbreak

One memory that stands out above all others in 2020 is the global pandemic caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus disease, COVID-19. From the first reported cases in Wuhan, China, this deadly virus quickly spread worldwide, impacting millions of lives and causing widespread havoc.

2. Lockdowns and Quarantine Measures

In her first full collection, Hibaq Osman presents her poems in flashes of memory. Part of the #TwentyIn2020 collection for Black British writing.

Split into three parts, where the memory was invites readers into a word full of blunt feeling and delicate poetics. Ranging in theme from inter-generational pain to reckless young love and battles with illness, these poems turn memory into a living aspect of our lives.

These beautiful poems all cover the truths of a multi-layered identity and existing within structures, systems and histories that oppress. They range in theme from intergenerational trauma, love or lack of it and how our unique histories sometimes provide safety from the harshness of current reality.
