About the Book
John Paul Wright was in isolation, reorganizing a mid-life freakout, when Louisville erupted into protests after the police shot and killed Breonna Taylor. This book explores a time when a national pandemic, a summer of protest, and the building of a new way of life intersected. At a time when the nation was in turmoil, confused, and divided, and Louisville, Kentucky, was holding nightly protests, John, working as a watchman on the river, was having the time of his life amidst the chaos. This book is akin to a travel journal, blending poetic prose with journalistic reporting.
