Stop the World Anthology
One of John’s End Notes blogs has been reprinted in a new anthology from Thalia Press, Stop the World: Snapshots from a Pandemic. It’s a topical, up-to-the-minute collection of personal essays, short fiction, and poetry based on experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in this unique year. Forty writers from around the world took time during this spring of lockdown, contagion, and uncertainty to explore and share their emotions and creative impulses for the record.
