Description: "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.
