I can explain how Maura Dooley presents the multifaceted effects of a long distance relationship.
Show transcript
The speaker is enriched and comforted by her long-distance correspondence with a friend.
Although their relationship is distanced, the speaker treasures it and looks forward to the man's letters.
Dooley spent time living in the countryside so this could be a reflection of her longing to return to a natural setting.
Dooley seems to depict an ambiguous relationship which could be platonic, romantic or familial.
The speaker's admiration for her friend/relative causes her to question her own life choices.
