The COVID Journals
Health Care Workers Write the Pandemic
by Shane Neilson, Sarah Fraser & Arundhati Dhara, Editors
Description
Early in the pandemic, medical personnel were our front lines. What was that like? Through stories, art, and poetry, Canadian health-care workers from across the country recount their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The writers in The COVID Journals share their dedication and fears as they watched the crisis unfold, giving us an inside view of their lives at a time when care itself was redefined from moment to moment. Their narratives, at turns tender, angry, curious, and sometimes even joyful, highlight challenges and satisfactions that we will continue to explore and make sense of for years to come.

"The COVID Journals leaps off the page as a wonderful, compelling, important, and unique contribution to pandemic literature. Shane Neilson, Sarah Fraser, and Arundhati Dhara have curated a vital, energetic chorus of health care workers who use poems, visual art, and personal narratives to testify about their work, lives, and loved ones during the pandemic. A rich unmasking of those whom we too often herald as heroes but too rarely come to know, this anthology offers the reader an appreciation of the individuality, pain, love, humour, and creativity of Canadian health-care workers." —Lawrence Hill, novelist and essayist
"The COVID Journals brings readers into an encounter with the pandemic that is as exceptional as it is ordinary." —Emilia Nielsen, York University
"Just as stories have been central to our lives as human beings over millennia, they are also central to medicine. The narratives in The COVID Journals reframe health carehealthcare as a human endeavor." —Pamela Brett-MacLean, Arts & Humanities in Health & Medicine, University of Alberta
