A Day in the (Writing) Life
by
“During the night, a friend has sent a poem she wrote about an island off of an island we visited together. For a few moments I am there again, feeling the pooling light on my wet shoulders and tasting salt in my mouth.
“But I am not on that island. I’m in landlocked Switzerland, hemmed in by snow-frosted mountains; a very different, virtual island formed from a combination of disease and work life. The city of Geneva, where my husband has been posted at the U.N., last week became the global hotspot for COVID-19.”
