Caili O'Doherty: Quarantine Dream

Read "Quarantine Dream" reviewed by Kyle Simpler


The pandemic affected people in many different ways. For some, it raised new levels of awareness about health and prevention, but for others it also became a means of artistic discovery.

Doug Webb: The Message

Read "The Message" reviewed by David A. Orthmann

Boris Kozlov: First Things First

Read "First Things First" reviewed by John Chacona


During the early days of pandemic-induced isolation, old folkways and techniques suddenly became new again (remember the shortages of baking yeast and canning supplies?).
