“I sob for all we are losing, shed tears for all who have died, for the tired earth holding us up.”
Annahid Dashtgard narrates this intimate story (previously published in CBC Books & Prairie Fire Magazine) of the pandemic as a form of exile, and the land as an anchor during these times of loss. Anyone who is a parent, professional or human will hear themselves in these lyrical words making sense of a virus that “has stolen our species breath away”, and what is possible on the other side.
