Solitudes researcher, Akshi Singh, interviews psychoanalyst and writer, Josh Cohen about the moments of isolation and connection found between patient and therapist during the pandemic.

Josh Cohen muses on imagination and daydreaming in Emily Dickinson's poetry, and the ways in which they illuminate an adherence to disappearance, confinement and radical solitude in her life. This post comes from our recent project colloquium, where research associates explored the pleasures and perils of deliberate solitary retreat from society.
