I am so grateful to The Keeping Room for publishing my essay, “Pandemic Thoughts, Racing.” I’ve been so immersed in finishing my memoir that I have not had an essay published in a while. Feels good to have this out in the world — something unrelated to my memoir. This piece also gave me a chance to work out some of my anxiety around the uncertainties inherent in our COVID-19/coronavirus world right now.
Editor Rebecca Beardsall was great to work with!
