Global Insides -- the beginning

While no one is unscathed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the authors of this collection have shared what is inside of them in verse and prose and images to help heal through insight and understanding, through lyricism and art, and through empathy and connection. Over a hundred entries representing more than forty countries bring you experiences and emotions from around the world. There is illness, isolation, economic hardship, and social upheaval, but there is also beauty, kindness, and joy. Striving to understand the tribulation of others in these pages, you might find someone who understands yours.
