NFOTA is delighted to announce the paperback release of the anthology, Our Pandemic Times, edited by Felicity Sidnell Reid and Kim Aubrey, and published by Blue Denim Press.

Along with stories and poems written during the pandemic, the book contains many striking colour photographs and illustrations.

On July 15, we held a poetry reading on Facebook Live to celebrate the launch of Our Pandemic Times. Shane Joseph of Blue Denim Press hosted the event, and Cobourg Poet Laureate, Jessica Outram, was MC. Contributors read their poems and answered Jessica’s impromptu, and sometimes challenging, questions. You can watch the video here:

We followed up with a Prose Writers interview session on July 22. Shane Joseph had a lively discussion with four of the prose contributors, Chris Cameron, Marie-Lynn Hammond, Patricia Calder, and Kim Aubrey, about the joys and struggles of writing during a pandemic. Here’s the video:

Information on how to purchase copies of the paperback can be found here at Blue Denim Press.

The kindle version of the e-book is available here, and the Kobo version here.
