This story comes from Ann Petry's Book, "Miss Muriel and Other Stories"
Here is a summary of the book:
From the author of the best-selling novel THE STREET comes a stunning collection of stories that captures a remarkably diverse panorama of African-American experience in the 1950s and 1960s--stories of "a small town pharmacist's family, a New York nightclub drummer, a high school English teacher, a factory worker, a junk dealer, [and] a charmingly perceptive 12-year-old" (Christian Science Monitor). Set mainly along the East Coast, these realistic tales are, as one reviewer said, "a rare pleasure" (Belles Lettres) to read, as powerful today as they were when they were first published in 1971. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUYEgkKEFI

This a dramatized reading of Ann Lane Petry's short story "Like a Winding Sheet". The synopsis is as follows:
An African American man, is lounging in bed, savoring the last moments of rest before a busy shift at the factory. His wife, Mae, affectionately jokes that he looks like a huckleberry in a winding sheet. Although he protests that that is no way to talk early in the day, he smiles in spite of himself. As Johnson dresses for work, he nurses his aching legs that never seem to get enough rest from one shift to the next. Noting that the date is Friday the thirteenth, Mae considers staying home, but her husband gently urges her to go to work because it is payday—a good-luck day everywhere. By the time he convinces her to leave for work, he has already made himself late...

Chapters 4 departs from the human world and examines the homes of the natural world. Nests and shells are noted for their beauty of form and the emotions they draw out of observers, including feelings of protection, security, solitude, and infinity. These natural forms offer lessons about being and consciousness and provide opportunities to incorporate elements of their construction into human design.

The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard
Ch 4. Nests | ( The Poetics of Space )
Since its initial publication in 1958, The Poetics of Space has been a muse to philosophers, architects, writers, psychologists, critics, and readers alike. The rare work of irresistibly inviting philosophy, Bachelard’s seminal work brims with quiet revelations and stirring, mysterious imagery. This lyrical journey takes as its premise the emergence of the poetic image and finds an ideal metaphor in the intimate spaces of our homes. Guiding us through a stream of meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself, Bachelard examines the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories. Houses and rooms; cellars and attics; drawers, chests, and wardrobes; nests and shells; nooks and corners: No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries. In Bachelard’s enchanting spaces, “We are never real historians, but always near poets, and our emotion is perhaps nothing but an expression of a poetry that was lost.”
This new edition features a foreword by Mark Z. Danielewski, whose bestselling novel House of Leaves drew inspiration from Bachelard’s writings, and an introduction by internationally renowned philosopher Richard Kearney who explains the book’s enduring importance and its role within Bachelard’s remarkable career.

Chapter 6 explores corners and the human connection to them as spaces of immobility, security, and liberation. Corners are optimal for daydreaming; Bachelard asks readers to recall their own connection to corners from childhood. Within the corner, there are universes available for the imagination.
