COVID-19. A word that has come to be dreaded. A disease that has caused not just a lethal pandemic, but which has created a global economic crisis as well. Lock downs throughout the world. Job losses that now threaten to take us to Depressions Era levels. This crisis has affected each and everyone of us in one way or another.
Throughout June and July (and even into August), we will presenting on this web site the work of poets and visual artists, all responding to this unprecedented crisis. At the same time, we will be fundraising for AFAC, the Arlington Food Assistance Center in Arlington, Virginia.
Please visit us each day, beginning June 1, for a poem or a painting or a photograph, all by professionals from around the United States and, indeed, from around the world. And please consider donating to AFAC so that they can continue providing needed assistance to those who have been directly affected by the pandemic.
Thank you for your visit and your generosity.
Mike Maggio
