"Because I spend a significant amount of time participating in Zoom meetings, I’m trying to cut back on my screen time when I’m not working or volunteering. But I do feel that social media is filling a void by keeping us all connected. I recently took part in Ochre Fest, a literary festival where I read an excerpt of my award-winning memoir, Almost Feral. Due to the pandemic, the festival was online this year. As I watched other authors read from their work, I felt less isolated because I was reminded of a larger community that I’m a part of that’s so lovely and talented." - Gemma Hickey in Newfoundland Quarterly http://nqonline.ca//gemma-hickey-art-in-the-time-of-physi/
