The lockdowns of 2020 forced us all to sit still and contemplate a world
that had suddenly ground to a halt. It was a year of strange and
uncomfortable separation, from family and friends, from places, from the
lives we knew. Now, in 2021, we can find each other again through the
shared memories and emotions that transcend physical isolation. The
essays and poems in Fray & Mend broadly interpret the ideas of division
and reunion through fifty unique perspectives. Written by Singapore
American School's Advanced Topic Writing Workshop and Publication class,
this anthology is a genuine account of the struggles and revelations of
teens in this frayed, and mending, era.
