My name is Alan Roseman. I have been an active photographer for more than 50 years. Street photography is my first love and the Covid pandemic called me to the near deserted streets of Providence, East Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls. Each excursion was painstaking for safety reasons as my age and health placed me in a high risk category. I felt the pandemic changed everything, my thoughts on the display of my work included. While it was never my goal, many of the images in the ongoing "Covid Days" album have won awards on the street photography sites internationally.

Beyond Her Sight She sits on a tarnished green bench Blending in with the tall grass Growing wild behind an empty train station Abandoned long ago by a town Undernourished by the stains of progress Moving too fast for the communities to keep up InterCity Transit superseded By technological advancements Replacing the “hands on” work Displacing the people such as her And exterminating The community spirit. She sits dolefully reflecting On a time not so long ago When she set her alarm clock for 6 am, Swiftly got dressed, Gulped down her coffee and day old danish And raced out her door to this same train station Catching the next rail to get to her job Which kept food on her table And a place to call home For herself and her family It seems so long ago to her now When her boss came over to her With the piercing news She was no longer needed Her job was discontinued She was no longer necessary To the assembly line which had shrunken From the “hand of progress” Which took no passengers And was blind to the human toll She peers up At the fluffy cotton ball clouds Set against a veiled sapphire sky And there amidst the billowy mist An eagle, Its soft and feathered wings spread wide Gliding assuredly from side to side, Circling and then swooping down so gently In a seemingly limitless sky Images of her grandmother come to mind She recalls fondly her passion for life, Her inner strength, Her tireless thirst for adventure And precipitous determination Overcoming one obstacle after another She grins as she begins To feel her own renewed strength And energized curiosity Ready to stand steady and undeterred Whether the wind Swirls with fury Or rests with soft strokes Upon her tender brow. She lifts herself effortlessly off the bench And makes her way through the tall Untamed blades of grass Which she views with new found pleasure She knows not what lies Beyond this tatty jade bench But is anxious to walk on paths Not yet vested or traveled On a quest for what waits Beyond her immediate sight By Noreen Inglesi Date When was this created? 2021 Location Where was this item created?

As the pandemic continued month after month and the isolation became unbearable but still necessary, I found that I no longer gained enough intellectual satisfaction from creating classical music compositions (my forte), especially since my newest works probably would not be performed until Covid-19 was conquered. So instead I wrote and gathered together diary-like essays, literary critiques, philosophical musings, poetry, short stories, and narratives from contemporary experience as well as from deep in memory. I had written them each month to send to friends, with no thought of continuity—they would range where ever my mind and imagination wanted to go. I preferred to stay away from discussions about the coronavirus of which I knew little, the care givers who appeared to be so heroic, or the victims of the disease who were even more confined than I was and whose desperate circumstances were so frightening. Nor was I thinking of it as being a diary—my hermetic life was not interesting enough for that type of documentation. No, my writings were meant to be a diversion, to take one away from the horrific plague that in 2020-22 ingulfed us. I must confess that I have made no attempt to stick with subjects that I think would interest a general public. I am not even sure I would know what these would be. So, my suggestion is to only read those entries which excite your own imagination or generate some curiosity. About the Author Geoffrey D. Gibbs, Professor Emeritus of Music Composition at the University of Rhode Island, received a DMA degree in composition and voice from the Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester, NY) in 1974. Born in 1940, Dr. Gibbs began his music training at age seven and was soon composing his own pieces. In high school he studied composition privately with Elie Siegmeister noted for championing American folk music. At Eastman he studied composition with Howard Hanson and Bernard Rogers. He began teaching composition and related subjects at URI in 1965 and has remained in Rhode Island since that time. He retired from URI in 2001 to devote all of his energies to creative projects. His interest in literature blossomed when he typed, edited, and annotated a thousand of his father’s poems and many essays. During his years of retirement three operas of his were premiered. His works were performed in Boston, Providence, Dartmouth College, the University of Rhode Island, Vibe of the Venue, Aurea Ensemble, Verdant Vibes Ensemble and the Fall River Symphony. As well he has had works performed at the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC) and as far away as Russia and South America. As mentioned above, it was during the last two years when it was difficult to present concerts, that Geoffrey Gibbs devoted much of his time to creating his pandemic journal.
