A Little Book of Living Through the Day

David Breeden's moving and accessible collection of poetry, A Little Book of Living Through the Day: Poems During a Pandemic, was written to get himself through the isolation of the pandemic--and to reach others, like those in his congregation, struggling with the same burden of the day-after-day. He explains: "I wrote the poems collected here in order to make it through the day, the night, and the day-after-day of the pandemic. Days of worry. Days of confusion. Days of social unrest. Days of figuring out how to get through the days. The pandemic hit congregations hard-we could not do one of the most important things congregations do: gather together. I knew that each person was, like me, living with the day-after-day. What could be said to help us make it?"
