Emerging from the Flames: Poetic & Artistic Musings on Life, Spirituality, and the Coronavirus

by Eleanor A. Hubbard, Pamela McKinnie (Illustrator)

In many ways, 2020 and the time we spent separate during the pandemic are indescribable. In this book, Emerging from the Poetic and Artistic Musings on Life, Spirituality, and the Coronavirus , through poetry, prose and art, Eleanor A. Hubbard and Pamela McKinnie capture the essence of the roller coaster, chaotic year that was. This month-by-month chronicle of engaging prose, poignant poetry, and breathtaking art ensures that the lessons of COVID will not soon fade from our memories. From their deeply personal musings to the cultural and political context in which the book is set, they have shared their unique and universal approach to life during the time of Coronavirus and its effect on their spirituality. The book concludes with an enchanting fable, The Synod of the Critters , which reminds the reader of the joy of the journey and the work that yet needs to be completed. As the reader, you can dip in and taste a poem or a piece of art, or you can read it through in one sitting, either way it is compelling work of remembrance and a call to action.
