Description

Award-winning professor and author Phyllis Weliver was in the first wave to fall ill with long COVID. Moving from the city to a woodland cottage above a glacier lake in order to regain health, Weliver reflects on the process of integrating mind/body health with the natural world. While this memoir may be of special interest to those dealing with chronic illness, Weliver's narrative ultimately addresses how we might all mend from the bruising pace of modern life.

This is the first published book-length long hauler memoir (April 2021). It deals with the first 10 months of illness. In total, Phyllis Weliver lived with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 for almost 2½ years. Today, she is grateful to have recovered.

"It is a book of reverie and vital information, in equal measure, in a search for equilibrium. …Throughout, Phyllis Weliver's writing is alert yet pleasurably digressive, following lightly trodden paths of natural and cultural history." – DEVIN JOHNSTON, author of Mosses and Lichens, a New York Times Best Poetry Book of 2019
