Book excerpt: "There's a surprising parallel between the Sunday Surprise Sampler and Whitman Samplers. Each provided a tiny respite during a time of global calamity. In the case of Whitman's, it was the time of World War II. That story entails women factory workers and 6 million pounds of candy. In the case of Sunday Surprise Sampler, it was the time of COVID, and this story entails at least 6 million pounds of women's wisdom, wit, talent, tragedies, triumphs; and, one quarantined "factory worker," J.J. Wilson, who used her time in isolation to wander through the archives. What may have begun as a pleasurable way to pass time in the quarantined company of books and archives, shifted, to a mission. J.J. began sending a Sunday Surprise via e-mail to all her Sitting Room friends and followers locked down in their own little pods. [...] Thus began the Sunday Surprise. Over the course of 44 consecutive 2021 Sundays, J.J. mused and ruminated, pondered and pontificated about the letters, journals, books and broadsides of both well-known and unknown women writers, poets, artists and activists. It was an interactive undertaking, for readers were invited to respond, and respond they did, as you will see. This collection of Surprises is in J.J. Wilson's own unique, narrative voice."--From the Introduction.
