It begins in this way: �It’s as if we are dead and somehow have been given the unheard-of opportunity to see the life we lived, the way we lived it: there we are with friends we had just run into by accident and the surprise on our faces (happy surprise, sour surprise) as we clasp each other (close or not so much) and say things we might mean totally or say things we only mean somewhat, but we never say bad things, we only say bad things when the person we are clasping is completely out of our sight; and everything is out of immediate sight and yet there is everything in immediate sight; the streets so crowded with people from all over the world and why don’t they return from wherever it is they come from and everybody comes from nowhere for nowhere is the name of every place, all places are nowhere, nowhere is where we all come from; the dresses hanging in a store window that are meant for people half my age are so appealing and the waist of this dress is smaller than my upper arm and I walk on; the homeopathic combination of vitamin C and bioflavonoids and zinc are on a shelf in the Brattleboro Co-op and I let them remain there, but in the Brattleboro Co-op are cuts of meat that used to be parts of animals and these animals were treated very well and given the best food to eat and that is why they are on the meat shelf of the Brattleboro Co-op; the blue sky, the blue sky and the white clouds are made less so even, modified really, when I place them next to the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds I know exist in the place where I was born and grew up, St. John’s, Antigua, nowhere, nowhere; the long lines in/at the airport and the people manning the various portals of entry and then exit to allow me to attend my oldest brother’s funeral, though he was nine years younger than I was at the time he was born but how much younger is he now that he is dead, he is dead and I am alive in the time of the dead, the time of the dead being the time in which to be alive is a form of being dead, we are dead right now for we cannot be all our ways that are ways of being alive that is familiar; I can hear Martha and the Vandellas singing back up to Marvin Gaye as he sings, close my eyes at night, though to close my eyes at night does not bring sleep or dreams of being loved, only how it came to be that I thought being dead would come about by nuclear bombs, not from something my eyes cannot even see; that very shaded part along the banks of a small stream, which feeds into a larger stream, which feeds, all ending the Atlantic Ocean, that very shaded area is beginning to be filled up with ramps; there were funerals, there were weddings, there were bar mitzvahs, there were meetings I never attended and was penalized, there were evaluations and I thought hard and did my best to be fair; there were sentences that could not be completed for long periods of time; bells, all kinds of bells, in churches, at dinners, in gardens, when someone was hung at Her Majesty’s Prison at eight o’clock on a Wednesday morning; girls with small bosoms, ladies with large bosoms, men who couldn’t stand up straight, the phone ringing, somebody telling me that my mother had died; the fear of using public toilets because people I didn’t know had used them before; one thing I would have loved: sailing across the southern Atlantic Ocean from Argentina to Cape Town, South Africa, and making a little detour to the Drake Passage; the wonder of this world, the wonder of this world and there are no words for it, every word spoils it; the prison for women on the corner of Eighth Street and Sixth Avenue and in it were women who had violated all sorts of rules: sexual, which were political, and political: Grace Paley and Angela Davis, a writer of one kind and a writer of another but thinkers observing the same thing and not being heard and not being heard is in the land of the dead where I am now; Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina; walking so closely to someone just to hear what they are saying and then telling someone else what was overheard, so I could make fun of it; the joy of ridiculing someone I don’t know and will never meet again; there was that time when I told my best friend that if I got married and had children that he should commit me to an institution for the insane because this meant that I would never be a great writer and I did get married and had children and never became a great writer, that thing, the great writer, now looks so ridiculous, like a clown or something unworthy of human attention, not garbage, not that at all, just something to be but, but, I was young and didn’t understand anything at all, though I knew everything all and danced in the streets while wearing pajamas that had been issued to me by a cancer hospital, where it was found I did not have cancer at all but after I left the hospital I continued to wear the pajamas for they had been so comfortable; and having children, how difficult to see that they were not me and that their comfortable childhood was not mine and my girl daughter, oh how she suffered from my confusion and that world is separated from me, lost forever �because of that thing that came from nowhere, like the rest of us it comes from nowhere, China, the United States of America, Antigua, all of that is nowhere, we are all of us from nowhere, and nowhere is where we end up, it is our destiny; alive but dead, dead but alive; a great divide has fallen on our life, on my life certainly and on the way I see the world: in life itself there are lots of dead in it, the kingdoms of mammals, vegetable, mineral, and all the others, are all in the living sometimes but in the dead all times.

Icovitti Date: 8/8/2020 16:42:38 Email: icovittinh@gmail.com Age (not required): 50 Tell us a bit about your situation during this time period (employed / remote learning / caring for loved ones / sick / quarantined / etc.): I work at Exeter High School (NH) as a Library Media Assistant and I live in York, ME. So far, during the pandemic I have been able to keep my job. We went to remote learning on March 13, 2020. I did not have much library work to do so I began volunteering the following week for the Meals4Kids program at Gather. The Meals4Kids program usually lasts at most 13 weeks a year. The bulk of it is during the summer school break and then each of the school vacations. It provides meals for children during school breaks that get free or reduced lunch during the school year. This is a program normally run by Seneca, 3-4 college boys (known as Dairy Boys) and many wonderful volunteers. With the Dairy Boys now taking their college classes online it was up to us older folks to take the reins. We were a crew of 4 masked up over 40's (myself, Emily, Seneca, and Scott McKee) that were loading up 2 trucks from the Gather warehouses, setting up and distributing (while socially distancing) food farmers market style, reloading to move to the next location, repeat and finally back to the warehouse to unload. We did this 3 days a week with 2-3 stops on each day. On a good day we would give out and therefore move over 10,000 pounds of food. The college boys (one of them my son, Nathan McKee) were there to help unload at night which was a relief at the end of 10 hour day. The four of us did this for 13 weeks in all kinds of weather until the boys were done with school. I continue to be a dairy boy one day a week throughout the summer. So far we are on about week number 21 with no end in sight. This is the most physically challenging and rewarding work I have ever done! It has been a privilege to have been given the opportunity to volunteer at Gather. I truly do not know how I would have coped with all of the uncertainty of these trying times without working with Gather's Meals4Kids program. It is and will continue to be essential to my well being durning the pandemic. Making connections with so many different people in need has been an invaluable experience. Many, many people in all different walks of life. I have a lot of support in my family and friends but you never know what may happen. It could easily be anyone of us on the receiving end of standing in a Gather food line. Lastly, I am so fortunate to have remained healthy as have my family and friends. We have created a bubble amongst ourselves so we are able to enjoy family picnics in our backyards. Share an uplifting story of neighbors helping neighbors or a story that made you smile during this time: In June of 2020, Charles Leinbach and I, started a neighborhood food drive on Stark Street for Fill the Hall (Music Hall) that benefits Gather (local food pantry that has been around for 200 years). We collected a lot of food. It was inspiring to be able to collect so much food for those in need during such uncertain times. Gather hoped to raise $20K and 20,000 pounds of food. They ended up raising over $70K and over 20,000 pounds of food. So many wonderful people in our community! Portsmouth Public Library | 175 Parrott Avenue | 603-766-1720 | cityofportsmouth.com/library �What memory of this time do you think will stay with you? I turned 50 this summer and I was lucky enough to be able to take a road trip with my partner, Charles, to Bar Harbor, ME and Acadia National Park for a few days. Of course it was a different birthday celebration than usual because of the pandemic. Of course the same rules apply while we were away as when at home; social distancing, mask wearing and lots of hand washing! We were able to hike, bike, and kayak in a beautiful part of Maine. We did curbside pick up for our meals and had many beautiful dinning location choices to set up our chairs to eat. I really feel very selfish for having such a nice memory. I truly do understand and appreciate how fortunate I am to live where I do and to have had all of my family and friends healthy during this time. Has this experience changed you? If so, how? The Covid 19 pandemic has changed me in a way that I did not expect. I learned that being of service is not only satisfying but essential to the mind and spirit. It has kept me afloat during these trying times to be surrounded by people helping people. I have done volunteer work in the past but not as much as I have been able to do recently. Post Covid pandemic life I will continue to make the time to volunteer in a way I haven't in the past. What has been the most challenging part of this experience? I have been extremely lucky so far during this pandemic. I think the "normal" day to day social interactions is what I miss the most. I am lucky to be in a great relationship and to have family close by so I really can not complain much at all. It has been difficult not seeing family for periods at a time but I am so lucky that I am able to see them at all.

Tell us a bit about your situation during this time period (employed / remote learning / caring for loved ones / sick / quarantined / etc.) "I work at Exeter High School (NH) as a Library Media Assistant and I live in York, ME. So far, during the pandemic I have been able to keep my job. We went to remote learning on March 13, 2020. I did not have much library work to do so I began volunteering the following week for the Meals4Kids program at Gather. The Meals4Kids program usually lasts at most 13 weeks a year. The bulk of it is during the summer school break and then each of the school vacations. It provides meals for children during school breaks that get free or reduced lunch during the school year. This is a program normally run by Seneca, 3-4 college boys (known as Dairy Boys) and many wonderful volunteers. With the Dairy Boys now taking their college classes online it was up to us older folks to take the reins. We were a crew of 4 masked up over 40's (myself, Emily, Seneca, and Scott McKee) that were loading up 2 trucks from the Gather warehouses, setting up and distributing (while socially distancing) food farmers market style, reloading to move to the next location, repeat and finally back to the warehouse to unload. We did this 3 days a week with 2-3 stops on each day. On a good day we would give out and therefore move over 10,000 pounds of food. The college boys (one of them my son, Nathan McKee) were there to help unload at night which was a relief at the end of 10 hour day. The four of us did this for 13 weeks in all kinds of weather until the boys were done with school. I continue to be a dairy boy one day a week throughout the summer. So far we are on about week number 21 with no end in sight. This is the most physically challenging and rewarding work I have ever done! It has been a privilege to have been given the opportunity to volunteer at Gather. I truly do not know how I would have coped with all of the uncertainty of these trying times without working with Gather's Meals4Kids program. It is and will continue to be essential to my well being durning the pandemic. Making connections with so many different people in need has been an invaluable experience. Many, many people in all different walks of life. I have a lot of support in my family and friends but you never know what may happen. It could easily be anyone of us on the receiving end of standing in a Gather food line. Lastly, I am so fortunate to have remained healthy as have my family and friends. We have created a bubble amongst ourselves so we are able to enjoy family picnics in our backyards." Share an uplifting story of neighbors helping neighbors or a story that made you smile during this time "In June of 2020, Charles Leinbach and I, started a neighborhood food drive on Stark Street for Fill the Hall (Music Hall) that benefits Gather (local food pantry that has been around for 200 years). We collected a lot of food. It was inspiring to be able to collect so much food for those in need during such uncertain times. Gather hoped to raise $20K and 20,000 pounds of food. They ended up raising over $70K and over 20,000 pounds of food. So many wonderful people in our community!" What memory of this time do you think will stay with you? "I turned 50 this summer and I was lucky enough to be able to take a road trip with my partner, Charles, to Bar Harbor, ME and Acadia National Park for a few days. Of course it was a different birthday celebration than usual because of the pandemic. Of course the same rules apply while we were away as when at home; social distancing, mask wearing and lots of hand washing! We were able to hike, bike, and kayak in a beautiful part of Maine. We did curbside pick up for our meals and had many beautiful dinning location choices to set up our chairs to eat. I really feel very selfish for having such a nice memory. I truly do understand and appreciate how fortunate I am to live where I do and to have had all of my family and friends healthy during this time." Has this experience changed you? If so, how? "The Covid 19 pandemic has changed me in a way that I did not expect. I learned that being of service is not only satisfying but essential to the mind and spirit. It has kept me afloat during these trying times to be surrounded by people helping people. I have done volunteer work in the past but not as much as I have been able to do recently. Post Covid pandemic life I will continue to make the time to volunteer in a way I haven't in the past." What has been the most challenging part of this experience? "I have been extremely lucky so far during this pandemic. I think the "normal" day to day social interactions is what I miss the most. I am lucky to be in a great relationship and to have family close by so I really can not complain much at all. It has been difficult not seeing family for periods at a time but I am so lucky that I am able to see them at all. I guess I would say keeping my anxiety, about the health of myself and everyone around me, at bay has been most challenging." Explain or describe the shared photograph(s) "1.

Two days after the quarantine started my son, his wife and their two young boys moved into my house along with their two cats and stayed for three months. I helped the boys with their schoolwork and watched them while their parents worked online. My house is larger and has a large yard so was perfect for keeping the boys entertained. Unfortunately, the cats did not get along with my cat so that took a bit of work to keep them separate. It took some negotiation to work out everyone's roles in this new living situation and expectations etc. but we made it work. Share an uplifting story of neighbors helping neighbors or a story that made you smile during this time: My son and daughter in law did all the shopping, sanitizing of things and most of the cooking which was wonderful. Also, the chipmunk the cats brought into the house and let loose will always be remembered. Trying with my son and two grandsons to catch it was quite an experience. What memory of this time do you think will stay with you? Three months to spend with my grandsons was a wonderful gift that I never expected to receive and will always think of my time with them very warmly. Has this experience changed you? If so, how? I learned that the busy life I previously led may not have been the best choice. Life is much slower now and I'm enjoying it. Plus, I've been able to walk 4-6 miles almost every day and really enjoy that time outdoors. What has been the most challenging part of this experience? Combining two households with different ways of doing things, different meal times, different foods and snacks, different bed times and arising times, took a bit of work to come to some type of agreement on. Also, I used to visit my husband daily in his nursing home, so not being able to visit him at all for four months was difficult.

Portsmouth Herald newspaper articles place her there in 1890, though some of her pieces are dated in the surrounding years.<br /><br />Many of the original pieces included in the portfolio are unfinished drawings and sketches. Pearson primarily used charcoal and graphite pencil. She continued to work with graphite throughout her career, most notably in her drawings for <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth</em>. For some of the works in the portfolio, Pearson used live models, but many of her drawings are of busts or statues, likely drawn from casts or other references. Other works collected in the portfolio include prints of pieces by Maxfield Parrish, William Roffe, and Jacques Lubin, among others, as well as an original painting by Boston artist C.E. Heil.<br /><br />Helen Pearson was born on November 13, 1870 to parents Amos and Susan Pearson. Amos Pearson was a florist and music teacher originally from Ipswich, MA. Susan E. (Miller) Pearson was an artist and musician from Portsmouth. Helen Pearson attended the Cowles School of Art in Boston sometime around 1890. She also trained as a concert pianist, playing with the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra in New York. In 1913, Pearson’s drawings were featured in <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire</em>, a book she collaborated on with Harold Hotchkiss Bennett. She died on July 19, 1949 at her home on Broad Street in Portsmouth.<br /><br />This collection was gifted to the Portsmouth Public Library by Richard Candee in January 2020. It is permanently housed in the Portsmouth Public Library Special Collections. The digital images are available here for research and public viewing.<br /><br />More of Helen Pearson's work can be seen in <a href="https://portsmouthexhibits.org/collections/show/8">The Helen Pearson Drawings Collection</a>. Her <a href="https://portsmouthexhibits.org/collections/show/7">collection of bookplates</a> is also viewable and includes her own bookplate which features an original drawing of a meteor over Portsmouth.

Portsmouth Herald newspaper articles place her there in 1890, though some of her pieces are dated in the surrounding years.<br /><br />Many of the original pieces included in the portfolio are unfinished drawings and sketches. Pearson primarily used charcoal and graphite pencil. She continued to work with graphite throughout her career, most notably in her drawings for <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth</em>. For some of the works in the portfolio, Pearson used live models, but many of her drawings are of busts or statues, likely drawn from casts or other references. Other works collected in the portfolio include prints of pieces by Maxfield Parrish, William Roffe, and Jacques Lubin, among others, as well as an original painting by Boston artist C.E. Heil.<br /><br />Helen Pearson was born on November 13, 1870 to parents Amos and Susan Pearson. Amos Pearson was a florist and music teacher originally from Ipswich, MA. Susan E. (Miller) Pearson was an artist and musician from Portsmouth. Helen Pearson attended the Cowles School of Art in Boston sometime around 1890. She also trained as a concert pianist, playing with the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra in New York. In 1913, Pearson’s drawings were featured in <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire</em>, a book she collaborated on with Harold Hotchkiss Bennett. She died on July 19, 1949 at her home on Broad Street in Portsmouth.<br /><br />This collection was gifted to the Portsmouth Public Library by Richard Candee in January 2020.
