This week in the Louisiana Anthology. One of our recent
additions is a COVID diary by Frank Perez, who wrote about his
experiences in the French Quarter during COVID. Saturday,
March 21, 2020. 12:15 pm. "I receive a text from my friend
Ben, an Episcopal deacon who lives a few blocks away, asking
if I know anyone who is hungry. Ben is making dozens of brown
bag lunches and delivering them around the Quarter to anyone
in need. He assures me that he wears gloves and a mask while
preparing the meals. I’m hungry now and heat up spaghetti
leftovers from yesterday." At the end of his diary, he notes,
"The Quarter itself is a poem. The souls are old here, and
each has a story to sigh into any willing ear." (Perez).
