Korongo No. 1: The Homebound Diaries ebook

In the fall of 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic raged on, Korongo teamed up with Kimball Library in Randolph, Vermont, to offer free writing workshops via Zoom. Our purpose was twofold: (1) to come together during a time of isolation and (2) to document our experience of a historic year. In the premier issue of "Korongo," the zine that grew out of these workshops, Shirly Hook writes about keeping an Abenaki garden, P.A. Cooley writes about the life of a married gay man who works in a skilled nursing facility, and Emily Howe reports on a day-trip to a quirky and little known state park. Korongo will be published on an occasional basis. This digital edition is readable on most electronic devices. Also available: a paperback edition, sold at cost, and a free PDF. The magazine, supported by our contributors and Kimball Library, is our gift to the community that we call home.
