In these five essays, first year college students in Professor Martha Kuhlman's Writing Workshop 106 class at Bryant University reflect on their experiences under the COVID lockdown at the end of August, 2020. To help students think about how to represent this difficult time, we read “We can’t comprehend this much sorrow” by Teju Cole, which was published in the New York Times May 18, 2020. Cole writes eloquently about his perspective on the pandemic from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he is a professor of Creative Writing at Harvard. He adopts a diary format, which you will note in these student essays as well, to meditate upon his connections to New York, Nigeria, Cambridge and the rest of the world as the pandemic numbers in New York State rise. The students responded to the prompt, “Reflect on your own experiences with the COVID quarantine. What was difficult, and what kept you going?” You will hear from a student who had an epiphany about her own personality, a musician whose musical was cancelled, a student who worked at a hardware store, a student from the Dominican Republic, and a student whose mother passed away from cancer. My heartfelt thanks to the students for sharing their personal insights with us. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title What would you title this item? The rest of our lives starts now! Description What is it all about? The year 2020 was supposed to be a year of celebrations. My fiancé and I, newly engaged and excited, began planning for our wedding shortly after he proposed to me in the summer of 2019. In fact, we found our perfect venue almost immediately after getting engaged. My dream of marrying at an idyllic vineyard was coming true! By the end of 2019, we had a plan – to escape the harsh New England winter and get married in Florida, January of 2021. We even traveled to the Sunshine State in December of 2019 to interview vendors and secure photography, videography, and catering. All the pieces of the puzzle were falling together perfectly. Our joint wedding shower, as well as our respective bachelor and bachelorette parties were to take place in the summer of 2020. We were ecstatic to keep the celebrations going! That is, until the Covid-19 pandemic hit home. In mid April 2020, as cases peaked in Rhode Island, my fiancé and I painfully decided to cancel our plans and dreams of a Florida wedding. While it was a difficult decision to make, it was also a huge blessing in disguise. We lost non-refundable deposits, but saved thousands in total wedding expenses. More importantly, we succeeded in not risking the lives of our dear family and friends. As we reflected on our blessings and the fragility of life, what reason was there to wait to get married? The rest of our lives could start now! So, in proper pandemic fashion, with the help of just our parents and siblings, on August 30th 2020, Roberto and I had ourselves the most beautiful, romantic, and intimate backyard wedding a girl could dream of. And for that, we will be grateful for the rest of our lives. https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/18b033a679b3cb14f382d63189604c1b.jpg 302682e161cdf11e2e5063eaa01ca129 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.
