Confined before COVID-19

de Casper Cendre, Carla Cabral

"This anthology is a collection of comics, artwork, poetry and short essays from queer and allied prisoners. We asked our friends in prison to share what is going on in their lives in the midst of a global pandemic: what they see, what changes have been made, what's going on and if they feel safe. As always, these amazing friends of ours stepped up to share their stories with the world. We received dozens of beautiful submissions in the timeframe of one short month and are beyond proud to share them with you. Although there is so much in flux right now and so many unknowns, I have been inspired, as always, by our cornmunities stepping up and looking out for one another. Many people preordered this anthology or donated to us which has allowed us to send out thousands of dollars in emergency commissary funds to prisoners. A few wonderful organizations provided us with grants to assist in this publication, and all of you have helped us spread the word. As we try to figure out where to go from here, I know we can continue to be kind to each other, work together and have each other's backs. We will be stronger for it."--Page 3.
