The Second Longest Day of the Year

By Jean Prokott

The Second Longest Day of the Year tackles subjects such as suicide, mental health, body image, loss and grieving, politics, the pandemic, the environment--and yet manages to maintain a sense of humor throughout. "I see the book as a reflection of the inner vs. outer selves we experience day by day, hour by hour," Prokott says. "Each of us goes from trying to understand, existentially, who we are, what our place is, what grief does to us--while at the same time trying to understand the same things from a political perspective. The collection moves between how our personal experience defines us as much as how political culture defines us."
