After the long shutdowns and masks, it is good to be back-not that the pandemic is over. In the last 28 days (counting backwards February 5, 2023), 15,641 Americans have died from COVID according to Johns Hopkins University site, which updates and publishes daily, the stark figures for the U.S. and the world. 

 

And yet, it is good to be back-in literature too, with a new book cover (book forthcoming in Spring 2023) that sings.
