Announcement

COVID BOOK LAUNCH PARTY APRIL 23

Book Features Works by South Winsor, Manchester & Vernon Citizens



A new anthology, Coming Out of COVID: A Celebration of Poetry, Prose and Community, will be launched at a party, Sunday, April 23, 2:00 p.m. at the South Windsor Public Library. The free event features remarks by Senator Dr. Saud Anwar, readings, music, book sales and signings, and refreshments.

In late 2020, South Windsor Poet Laureate Charles Margolis, worked with the Poets Laureate of Manchester and Vernon (Ryan Parker and Pegi Deitz Shea, respectively) to organize live events in 2021 that asked community members to share their thoughts and feelings about the pandemic. The programs featured readings by the laureates and attendees, reflections written on index cards, music, and artwork. Topics ranged from vaccines, actual infections, essential workers, and racial strife. The book gathers the pieces into a creative history, including photographs from the events and beautiful cover art by Ria Saxena and Aldo Passarelli.

“Some works are funny and encouraging and others are forged by despair,” said Lillian R. Handleman, Steering Committee Chair. “But the common thread is the resilience of the human spirit, and the fortitude and courage our communities have mustered in the face of this unthinkable global pandemic.”
