Artistic community is at the core of this new craft book about the artist’s life and work over time by author and critic Stacey D’Erasmo, whose novels include the Lambda Literary Award–winning (Harcourt, 2004) and (Harcourt, 2014). Shaping her immersive, lyrical essays around conversations with older artists across mediums, including composer Tania Léon, poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña, and landscape architect Darrel Morrison, is at once a record of long, fulfilling careers in the arts and a study of how they can come to be.
