Well, it’s not exactly MY book, but an essay I wrote on the “consolations of poetry” is one of the 26 featured essays. The “Coronavirus Collective” is published by a local published called “Last Life Ever.” Written in the first few weeks of the global shut down, various authors share their unique perspectives on how they see the world through the lens of the coronavirus.
