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.

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.
