In a time when even getting out of bed takes a conscious effort, positive messages can be transformative. Yet underneath the devastation lies a current of interconnectedness and hope. Compiled by novelist and journalist Haupt ( In the Shadow of 10,000 Hills), these poems, essays, and interviews by literary notables such as Kwame Alexander, Nikki Giovanni, Dani Shapiro, and Lidia Yuknavitch, along with those by lesser-known authors Eson Kim and Rebecca Mabanglo-Mayor, capture the pain everyone is experiencing. Benefiting independent booksellers, with profits going to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc), this anthology explores the pandemic experiences of 90 writers, providing a guide for negotiating the fear, isolation, grief, and exhaustion of this difficult time. As the COVID-19 pandemic rages worldwide, writers are speaking out about its impact.
