Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic by the end of 2019, the whole world has entered a threshold area where everything has never been like before: change is the norm in all fields and the customary ways of life seem a thing of the past. The work of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner on liminality assist in fathoming what the world undergoes during this liminal period of human history. Like other periods of pandemics, the present COVID-19 era is set apart from the stable pre-liminal one when everything used to follow fixed rules and systems, and transfers to an in-between time of mixed features – both positive and negative. The present study attempts to discover such paradoxical characteristics of liminal thinking during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines select pandemic poems in Regin Silvest and Malini Ganapathy's COVID-19 Pandemic Poems. Vol III (2020).
