It hardly needs to be said that this is an extremely frightening, confusing and anxiety-ridden time, for everyone.
Read the latest coverage of the coronavirus in Alaska.
As tireless coverage of the crisis before us continues, Alaska author Don Rearden provides a brief reprieve reading a piece of poetry.

Close your eyes, take some deep breaths, and just listen.
