Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This poignant debut by Gavin Bradley explores the emotional toll of different kinds of separation: from a partner, a previously held sense of self, or a home and the people left behind. The main narrative describes the deterioration of a long-term relationship, interweaving poems dealing with the loneliness of immigration and the anxiety of separation from Northern Ireland, the poet’s homeland. These personal poems enter their stories through a variety of characters and places, from dock builders to dogs, from shorelines to volcanoes, to “mouths soft and humming like beehives.” Other sections of the collection examine a post-Troubles’ experience in Northern Ireland (evoking the lived-experience of growing up with bombs and domineering Catholicism), tell grandfather stories, and show a lasting love for the people, the language, and the land. Separation Anxiety ultimately conveys a message of hope, reminding us that “we’ll be remembered for / ourselves, and not the spaces we / leave behind.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Covid-19 virus spread to South Africa in March 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a national lockdown. Universities closed and students were required to move back home at short notice. To record their experience of living through this unprecedented period, students in one Economics class at Stellenbosch University kept a diary during the first month of lockdown. The 333 diary entries in this anthology reflect the diversity of experiences and reactions of this relatively privileged group of students. From the humdrum of everyday life to anxiety about lost incomes, societal inequality and the physical, mental and economic health of the nation, the diary entries reveal the hopes and fears of young people during a time of crisis. The purpose of the anthology is twofold: to preserve these thoughts so they can be integrated into future historians’ accounts, and to help a generation that continues to experience the painful effects of a pandemic and of lockdown to think about how our perceptions have evolved and how much has changed in such a short time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the decades it takes to bring up a child, parents face challenges that are both helped and hindered by the fact that they are living through a period of unprecedented digital innovation. Drawing on extensive research with diverse parents, this book reveals how digital technologies give personal and political parenting struggles a distinctive character, as parents determine how to forge new territory with little precedent, or support. The book reveals the pincer movement of parenting in late modernity. Parents are both more burdened with responsibilities and charged with respecting the agency of their child-leaving much to negotiate in today's "democratic" families. The book charts how parents now often enact authority and values through digital technologies-as "screen time," games, or social media become ways of both being together and setting boundaries. The authors show how digital technologies introduce both valued opportunities and new sources of risk. To light their way, parents comb through the hazy memories of their own childhoods and look toward varied imagined futures. This results in deeply diverse parenting in the present, as parents move between embracing, resisting, or balancing the role of technology in their own and their children's lives. This book moves beyond the panicky headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to parent in a period of significant social and technological change. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research in the United Kingdom, the book offers conclusions and insights relevant to parents, policymakers, educators, and researchers everywhere"--

Confined to his Delhi apartment, Manash Firaq Bhattacharjee unravels the intimate paradoxes of life he encounters in the first weeks of a global pandemic. His stories about local fish sellers, gardeners, barbers and lovers merge with his concerns for the exodus of migrant labourers, the challenges faced by health workers, and a mother braving checkposts to bring her son home. Drawing inspiration from contemporary literature and cinema, The Town Slowly Empties is a unique window on a world desperate for love, care and hope. Manash is our Everyman, urging us to slow down and mend our broken ties with nature. Written with rare candour and elegance, this meditative book is a compelling account of the human condition that soars high above the empty streets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Will our country fall victim to a 2nd wave of COVID-19?" This book talks about and explains the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, a pandemic that has ravaged our economy and our society, infecting over 40 million people worldwide, and killing more than a million. This pandemic has not only taken lives, but it has also wrecked our global economic and social systems--forever altering the way we view our world and our lives. This book relates the facts and lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic from two distinct perspectives. The first perspective is the facts and lessons of COVID-19 on a global level, its global impact, and the global response to fight it; while the second perspective is the facts and lessons of COVID-19 on a human level, from the perspectives of individuals personally impacted by this pandemic--sometimes in heartbreaking ways. From this book, not only will you better understand this pandemic and what it has done to us, but you will also better understand why all this has happened. From this book you will read and learn the lessons that you and I, both as a society and as individual citizens, must take to heart if we hope to do better and survive the next pandemic to come, or even the next wave of this current pandemic...because, there WILL be a next... So please, read, learn, and remember.

Book excerpt: The Quarantine Atlas is a poignant and deeply human collection of more than 65 homemade maps created by people around the globe that reveal how the coronavirus pandemic has transformed our physical and emotional worlds, in ways both universal and unique. Along with eight original essays, it is a vivid celebration of wayfinding through a crisis that irrevocably altered the way we experience our environment. In April 2020, Bloomberg CityLab journalists Laura Bliss and Jessica Lee Martin asked readers to submit homemade maps of their lives during the coronavirus pandemic. The response was illuminating and inspiring. The 400+ maps and accompanying stories received served as windows into what individuals around the world were experiencing during the crisis and its resonant social consequences. Collectively, these works showed how coronavirus has transformed the places we live, and our relationships to them. In The Quarantine Atlas, Bliss distills these stunning submissions and pairs them with essays by journalists and authors, as well as notes from the original mapmakers. The result is an enduring visual record of this unprecedented moment in human history. It is also a celebration of the act of mapping and the ways maps can help us connect and heal from our shared experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will the Covid-19 pandemic be remembered? What did it mean to people? How did it feel? This book provides a compelling account of the pandemic as it was experienced in the UK. Everyday Life in the Covid-19 Pandemic is a democratic history based on the 5,000 diaries collected by Mass Observation on 12 May 2020. It is a record of what many of these diarists wrote, from a wide range of positions, in a variety of voices and on a wealth of different subjects. The book shines a light on their lives on the day in question, their experiences during the first two months of the pandemic, and their hopes and fears for the coming months and years. The diaries capture much of everyday life in the pandemic for millions of people in the UK and beyond: the activities, events, and rituals (from funerals to working from home); the sites and stages (from shops to Zoom); the roles and categories (from 'key workers' to 'vulnerable groups'); the frames (from luck to 'the new normal'); and the moods (from anxiety to grief). In these diaries, we see what people did when the pandemic arrived in the UK, but also what people thought and felt – how they interpreted the pandemic experience and gave it meaning. We see both how the nation responded and the nation who responded. The book also includes two essays offering expert contextualisation of the diaries and discussion of their value for narrating the pandemic and presenting everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Engaged, intelligent, personal, fast moving and funny.” - Financial Times Life in a Time of Plague is the story of Britain under the first 75 days of its unprecedented Covid-19 lockdown, seen from the author’s rural East Sussex valley home in England. From the refuge of a seemingly idyllic rural idyll, the book monitors in bleak and forensic detail the failure of the Government to protect Britain, and its woeful response at every stage of the pandemic. The author’s age and medical issues colour this diary with a dark humour, as his age group is most at risk. He is determined to make his 70th birthday at least, despite the thousands of deaths in Britain to date. It is a quiet slow appreciation of the bright green spring and summer of 2020 in the English countryside, set against the horrors faced by frontline workers. However, what is most surprising is that amid the death, heartache and economic carnage, there is also a silver lining, a chance to simply stop and stare, and rethink our lives. Julian Roup has produced a podcast series based on 'Life In a Time of Plague'. You can listen to it here - https://iono.fm/c/5264 - first broadcast by BizNews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lover of strict form, best-selling poet Victoria Chang turns to compact Japanese waka, powerfully innovating on tradition while continuing her pursuit of one of life’s hardest questions: how to let go. In The Trees Witness Everything, Victoria Chang reinvigorates language by way of concentration, using constraint to illuminate and free the wild interior. Largely composed in various Japanese syllabic forms called “wakas,” each poem is shaped by pattern and count. This highly original work innovates inside the lineage of great poets including W.S. Merwin, whose poem titles are repurposed as frames and mirrors for the text, stitching past and present in complex dialogue. Chang depicts the smooth, melancholic isolation of the mind while reaching outward to name—with reverence, economy, and whimsy—the ache of wanting, the hawk and its shadow, our human urge to hide the minute beneath the light.

Book excerpt: The non-self-help book: a candid and heartfelt collection of short memoirs from the COVID-19 pandemic that warm the soul and bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit.It's no secret that 2020/21 was unprecedented and unrelenting with the arrival, longevity and severity of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The enforced lockdowns implemented to tackle COVID-19 were an individual and collective source of pain and stress as we adapted to a completely new way of life. Collective trauma, alongside day to day life challenges, brought soaring levels of mental ill-health as we struggled through month after month of anxiety, social isolation and uncertainty. The concept of this book came about as I mindlessly scrolled through social media mid-pandemic and noticed that some people seemed to be flourishing whilst others were languishing - myself being one of them. As a policy researcher I was fascinated, sociologically and psychologically: Why did some people do well whilst others suffered? Was it because of who they were? Was it to do with their circumstances? What was it they were doing differently? And so this book was born. This is the first installment of the 'Life in Lockdown Duology'. This book examines the individual impact of COVID-19 on mental health and well-being through personal memoirs, focusing on how we can look after our mental health at a time widely anticipated to be the most significant mental health crisis in generations. The incredibly powerful accounts within these pages provide a solid foundation on how we can improve our mental health and well-being through healthy coping mechanisms, building resilience and cultivating positivity. This book is a collection of candidly honest and heartfelt memoirs from people of varying backgrounds, and of varying circumstances. Some loved lockdown, some hated it, some had a love/hate relationship with it. Regardless of their personal situations they all, without exception, reflect on the positive life lessons realised through their experience - and these are the simple things, things that we all have. At a time where the extent of the COVID-19 mental health crisis has yet to be realised, their ability to see the good in the bad will soothe and warm your soul.Ultimately, my hope is that if anyone feels isolated or is struggling with their mental health, that these first-hand stories will serve as a reminder of the small joys in life. These stories remind us that we are not alone, that we can get through difficult times, that it is okay to ask for help and that, even in the darkest of times, there is always something to be thankful for; there is always hope. The second in the 'Life in Lockdown Duology' contains an additional anthology of memoirs, with a focus on the collective impact of COVID-19. At a time of widening inequality it discusses the collective opportunities presented by COVID-19 and encourages us to confront the difficult questions about how we live, whether we want to return to pre-COVID 'normal' and about how we really want the post-COVID world to feel.
