I enjoyed my chance to participate in Literary Feasts, at the West Valley Art Museum in Surprise, Arizona, in April. I look forward to Sun Valley Writers’ Conference August 22-25. This spring, I am in the midst of writing poetry, contemplating some personal essays, and starting a new work of fiction about painting.
I have sent out my new novel to publishers, with the help of my courageous and dedicated agent, Priscilla Gilman (possible title: The Beauty of Ordinary Things). This is a story about love and sorrow, human and divine. Four characters in their twenties become intricately attached over the course of one tumultuous year (1973-4): Benny Finn, a Vietnam vet from a large Irish Catholic family in Boston; his brilliant and successful brother Liam; Isabel Howell, a student at Yale University and Liam’s girlfriend; and Sister Clare, Isabel’s close friend from childhood, now a nun at an Abbey in New Hampshire. More information soon, I hope!
