This book is dedicated to promoting a supportive integration through the pandemic. COVID-19 was the first global pandemic of our time. After putting out a call for pandemic poetry, we were overwhelmed by the incredible responses received. It is our pleasure to amplify the voices of creatives. Thank you to the community of writers that were brave enough to enter.

This project was made possible by the Antarctic Institute of Canada. We are forever grateful for the opportunity they have bestowed upon each of the writers of this book.

We may have been isolated, but this work proves, none of us were ever truly alone.
