This text was written in March, during the early Aesthetic First Wave. It was published as Chapter Six of Collective Voices in the Expanded Field, a group novel published by 11:11 Press (https://1111press.com/new-page), featuring, per their own description, 34 innovative authors.
This book is—as far as I know—the first experimental literary anthology to have come into being as awareness of the pandemic and its implications began to Take Place. It is a collected anagnorisis, and should prove of interest to anyone interested in the dawn of Covidian aesthesis.
With gratitude to Mike Corrao and Andrew J Wilt for their invitation.
