Writer and artist treading water in the Atlantic between New England (live there) and Wales (love it there). Books include The Long Field — a Best Travel Book of 2021 — Travels in an Old Tongue, Slow Breath of Stone and Sitting up with the Dead.
Fantastic book on turning biography into a two-way mirror. Can’t recommend Hester Kaplan’s memoir/biography (of her father, gleaned from his own award-winning biography of Mark Twain)/fictional speculation more highly. It’s thought provoking, wise, and beautifully written. #biography #memoir #books

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.
He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.
