Appearances

The Long Covid Reader

Living with Long COVID is tough. The Long COVID Reader (November 2023, Long Hauler Publishing) features essays, poetry, stories, and commentaries that explore the challenges of living with Long COVID. The anthology is authored by forty-five U.S.-based long haulers, including established writers and poets Pato Hebert, Emily Pinkerton, Morgan Stephens, and Nina Storey. This historical book is the first of its kind and reflects broad demographics, diverse skill sets, underrepresented voices, and those with little writing experience.

Read Dr. Wentworth’s moving foreword to this important collection.
