The idea of the book, Together……Apart was born from the desire to highlight humanity at its darkest hour to unite people, even as they remained physically apart. The narratives, articles, poems, artwork, and stories from around the world that were chosen from the global call for submissions exemplify the very real and raw human emotions that defined the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic: fear, hope, uncertainty, love, depression, faith, loneliness, and gratitude. They demonstrate how the this time has forced us, in so many different ways, to challenge the status quo and to question our concept of ‘normal’. Though the future before us remains a mystery, we hope that this book becomes a testament to the human spirit and how, at our darkest moment, we remained connected. We built the foundations for countless moments of light — small gestures of compassion and acknowledgements of gratitude that allow us to show who we are, how we want to live, and what matters to us. Together……apart, we will remain unified.
