I think you are chosen
for greatness.
Stars hover over
your shake roof,
an uninsurable fire hazard
where flame wanders
on wind at whim.
The dumbed-down science magazine
I read religiously says
I’ll meet 2.4 people like you
in my lifetime, though 1.1
will squander their moment.
While we have you...
...we need your help. Confronting the many challenges of COVID-19—from the medical to the economic, the social to the political—demands all the moral and deliberative clarity we can muster. In Thinking in a Pandemic, we’ve organized the latest arguments from doctors and epidemiologists, philosophers and economists, legal scholars and historians, activists and citizens, as they think not just through this moment but beyond it. While much remains uncertain, Boston Review’s responsibility to public reason is sure. That’s why you’ll never see a paywall or ads. It also means that we rely on you, our readers, for support.
