Getting Dressed In The Dark, An Artist's Way Home

Role: Author

How do you know the truth after the story you most trust disappears?

Self-betrayal, polyamory, infidelity, and an unconventional life in a one-room, rural Maine schoolhouse ends a hard-won way of life and mirrors the larger, societal polarization and collapse of meaning.

Through the lens of crisis, Getting Dressed in the Dark journeys through the aftermath of devastation, reflecting on the meaning of art, trust, and identity. With poetic insight, this memoir contemplates how, compass shattered, an artist's wisdom guides a course home, revealing a hopeful image of the creative life: a way forward.
