In light of the current pandemic of 2020, the cyclical nature of such phenomenon has made itself known once more. While the film provides no answers, it nevertheless is a tribute to vision and the imagination, and a poetic incantation of that which connects us. Book of Days previously aired on PBS, was shown at the New York Film Festival and was selected for the Whitney Biennial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/meredithmonk.myshopify.com\/products\/book-of-days-1988-purchase\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBook of Days\u003c\/a\u003e (1988), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/meredithmonk.myshopify.com\/products\/quarry-an-opera-in-three-movements?variant=50053765595413\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eQUARRY\u003c\/a\u003e (1977), a\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003end \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/meredithmonk.myshopify.com\/products\/ellis-island-1981?variant=50219876581653\" title=\"Ellis Island Purchase Link\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEllis Island\u003c\/a\u003e (1981) are available for digital rent or download, yet additional permissions are needed to screen these works publicly.
