Perfect for you if...

  • You're looking for honest, literary writing about how people actually coped during COVID without the self-help veneer.
  • You appreciate essays and poetry over narrative and want multiple perspectives on the same emotional territory.
  • You admire authors like Ada Limón, Nikki Giovanni, or Luis Alberto Urrea and want to discover how they processed this shared trauma.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're after practical advice or strategies for managing anxiety and isolation.
  • You prefer longer narrative forms like memoirs or novels over short-form essays.
  • You find pandemic-focused content too recent or emotionally raw to revisit right now.
