Care Of
Care Of | Ivan Coyote
4 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Beloved storyteller Ivan Coyote returns with their most intimate and moving book yet. In the early days of the coronavirus lockdown, like every artist and creator, writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote was faced with a calendar full of cancelled shows and a heart full of questions that all rhymed with what now? To keep busy while figuring out what to write about next, Ivan began to answer the backlog of mail and correspondences that had come in while they were on the pre-pandemic road: emails, letters, direct messages on social media, soggy handwritten notes found tucked under the windshield wiper of their car after a gig, all of it. In Care Of, Coyote combines the most moving and powerful of these letters with the responses they've sent in the months since the lockdown. Taken together, they become an affirming and joyous reflection on many of the themes and ideas central to Coyote's beloved work as an author and storyteller--a giant love letter to the idea of human connection and the power of truly listening to each other.

Accomplished writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote has spent most of the last two decades on the road at speaking engagements, sharing about their experience as a nonbinary person. When the world shut down in 2020, all that went away. So they decided to spend some time answering some of the many letters that have come their way. This book is a compilation of some of that correspondence. The exchanges are so vulnerable and kind. Just a lovely book.

Healing and enraging at once, this is a heartfelt and generous book with a unique premise. Ivan Coyote gets a lot of letters, and when the pandemic hit they finally had time to write proper responses. The beautiful vulnerability in the letters Ivan received is there because of the vulnerability Ivan shares in their work. Mostly it's trans/nonbinary people, young and old, who share themselves. Listening to this audiobook was like coming home.

Ivan Coyote hasn‘t lived in Whitehorse for decades, but I‘m happy to see his newest book is promoted in his hometown. #LGBTQ #trans #CanadianAuthor
