CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — The West Virginia Humanities Council has begun releasing some
content on the internet to address disruptions from the coronavirus
pandemic.

In
March, self-recorded videos of some published poets from around West
Virginia were posted in “Poetry During a Time of Crisis: WV Poets on
Community, Resilience, and the Power of the Arts.” New poets are posted
every Tuesday and Friday through the end of May.

“We’re
in a unique position to provide programming that helps West Virginians
stay connected, in a time when many struggle with feeling isolated,”
council Executive Director Eric Waggoner said in a news release.

The
videos are available on the council’s Facebook page. Also posted there
are “Mysterious Mondays,” a series of 20- to 30-minute audiobooks read
by Waggoner and council Program Officer Kyle Warmack.

The programs are also available on the council’s YouTube channel, which can also be accessed through wvhumanities.org/programs/in-a-time-of-crisis.
