Here We Go

Another year around the sun

It’s time to talk about death and grief and surviving and living. I am finishing the final edits on my memoir, My Truce with Grief.

All those “ands” are called polysyndeton. I am a writing nerd.

This is a space for thinking out loud. I do not believe in trigger warnings. If you don’t want to experience art (writing, photographs, paintings, drawings, sculpture, illustration, printmaking, ceramics, architecture, etc.), don’t.

There is beauty in horror, and there is life after loss. Art helps with that thing we call living.

“The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.” -George Sand

I hope to post weekly. Preferably on a Sunday. I welcome all comments and dialogue.

Since this is technically my first post, I say, “Hello!” My website is a great place to get to know me.

I used to teach photography, and I’m an Art and Art History aficionado.

Key West is a great place for sunsets. I just returned from a Key West Literary Workshop with the brilliant and generous Kwame Dawes. And now, I am writing a haiku every single day.
