Many of us are finding ourselves homebound these days, our routine and options changed or completely gone out the window. During this time of isolation and doubt, here are some stories and poems from the Western Pennsylvania Wilds to connect us!
The Watershed Journal staff thought we could use our platform to provide free entertainment, validation and distraction with something for the whole family. We turned to Writer’s Block Party, Brookville’s writer’s group, to see what they were writing about and thinking about as the coronavirus spreads. They sent us a wide variety of pieces in three categories:
- Response to the coronavirus
- Entertainment/distraction
- Hope & community
We hope you enjoy these pieces as much as we did! Click below to start reading right now. Stay safe out there!
