Cries From Quarantine is a tender, insightful book of poetry about love of all kinds. From the unconditional type of familial love to the unconventional type of romantic love, the verses curated for this collection are intended to inspire a universal truth: that self-love is at the heart of all love. Each poem is written with gratitude for the stillness brought on by the 2020 pandemic.

Why Cries From Quarantine? Because we all need a way to acknowledge, reflect and release. Quarantine was no doubt uncomfortable and unfamiliar-at times made worse by an unrelenting sense of loneliness. In this pandemic, so many of us have discovered or reconnected with parts of ourselves that we would have never had the opportunity to reach without the gift of time and isolation.

Cries From Quarantine is about gaining a perspective shift and letting go of anything heavy. About finding an outlet for emotional processing and self-expression whether that's journaling, meditating, hiking, dancing...whatever it takes. Poetry just so happened to be the author's choice. She found a path to healing and freedom through writing.

What's going to allow you to discover the gift of radical self-acceptance? From there we can accept others, live with more light and love with less conditions.

The poetry collection is accompanied by a distinctly unique audio experience available for purchase on all major music distribution platforms, which fuses both original music and spoken word. Executive produced by Anacron, CFQ: the Gallery Remixes is an audiobook unlike any in its genre. Ms. Anderson brings to life twelve poems from the book over a compilation of chillout / lo-fi / hip hop instrumentals that instantly become the soundtrack to her transformative journey.

Consider this a self-love movement. Let Cries From Quarantine inspire you.
