Listen up.

We’ve got a bone to pick with 2020. And, if you’re anything like us, then you probably do, too.  It wasn’t just the wildfires, the toilet paper shortage, the murder hornets and cicadas. It wasn’t only RBG’s passing, the social and political unrest, or the rise and fall of Tiger King. And it wasn’t simply the election or COVID or rising unemployment and a decimated economy. 2020 has been a super-ultra-marathon of challenges and uncertainties.

Here’s the deal: we’re inviting you to get back at 2020. Tell 2020 how it made you feel, what it meant to you. Make a collage, draw something. Write a poem or a story or a song. Then send your creation to us, and we’ll publish it in Bryant’s first-ever zine.

Professor Martha Kuhlman’s forthcoming publication The Covid Diaries (pictured), is one amazing example of creative expression and 2020. Read more of The Covid Diaries here.
