In the interest of the safety of our staff, writers, and potential audiences, CavanKerry will continue to bring you as much fine writing as we can via our Virtual Reading Series, website, and social media. As safety permits, we will continue our careful return to in-person appearances at conferences, readings, and festivals such as AWP, the New York City Poetry Festival, LitLife, Push 2 Publish, and the Paterson Poetry Festival. We wish you, your families, and friends good health and patience as we all manage the ongoing uncertainty and work to find new, exciting ways to engage readers with poetry and creative nonfiction. We invite you to continue to enjoy FREE digital versions of The Waiting Room Reader, Volumes I and II, as well as our Words to Keep You Company series.

These excerpts and the Waiting Room Reader series represent our commitment to providing high quality literature that helps reduce the stress and anxiety of our readers. We hope this will bring you solace during this difficult time.

Wishing safety, health, and comfort to you and your loved ones,

Joan Cusack Handler, Publisher
