Chronicling the Days – Kate Henderson

In April 2020, we invited writers in Quebec to submit a story of a single day during the strange, uneasy time of coronavirus and pandemic, of social distancing and self isolation, of lockdown and quarantine.

We’re thrilled to announce that these stories have been gathered in Chronicling the Days: Dispatches from a Pandemic (Guernica Press). To learn more and buy the book, please visit https://www.guernicaeditions.com/title/9781771836579.

Please also join us on the QWF FB Community page, and let the authors know if their words resonated.

This piece is by Kate Henderson, writing in March, 2020.

Connection in the Time of Covid.

It’s the end of March in Montréal and there are an unexpected four inches of snow on the ground. I walk along the riverside before I start my work-from-home day. The birds are quiet, the current moves sluggishly, snow lines tree branches.

To read the rest of the story, please support our community and check out Chronicling the Days: Dispatches from a Pandemic
