Eventually when I got round to our group writing workshop, it felt right to centre this politics of ease, and to concentrate not on what we had overcome in the pandemic years, but the quiet ways in which we had overcome. The moments of ease we found in the difficult. I was inspired by a book I found in Beirut called the Dictionary of Night, and so I facilitated us to write our Dictionary of Ease, and here it is.
