ALONE TOGETHER: Love, Grief, and Comfort During the Time of COVID-19 is a collection of essays, poems, and interviews to serve as a lifeline for negotiating how to connect and thrive during this stressful time of isolation as well as a historical perspective that will remain relevant for years to come. Jennifer Haupt, editor and curator, rallied 90 authors to contribute their work to ALONE TOGETHER, free of charge, as well as Central Avenue Publishing and IPG Distributors, to support booksellers struggling in the pandemic economy. The roster of diverse voices includes Kwame Alexander, Jenna Blum, Andre Dubus III, Jamie Ford, Nikki Giovanni, Pam Houston, Jean Kwok, Major Jackson, Caroline Leavitt, Ada Limon, Dani Shapiro, David Sheff, Garth Stein, Luis Alberto Urrea, Steve Yarbrough, and Lidia Yuknavitch. ALONE TOGETHER is divided into five sections: What Now?, Grief, Comfort, Connect and Don't Stop!. The overarching theme is how this age of turmoil and uncertainty is changing us as individuals and a society.
Thank you for joining us!
