First off, we would like to introduce ourselves. We are Hazel Hogan and Beau Williams, Editors of the 2 Meter Review. Our mission with this project is to produce a digital anthology during this difficult time that will create something beautiful, powerful, and poignant out of the madness. The content in this anthology will not necessarily be about the pandemic but is made up simply of poetry and photography created during this time. This digital anthology will be distributed for sale by the individual poets and photographers who are to be published in it, ensuring that 100% of the proceeds go into the pockets of the artists. During these difficult times, artists are taking a big hit to the wallet. It is our hope that this project could provide a small relief to that, and at the same time, produce an amazing piece of art. It is in the darkest of times where poetry and art are needed most.
