For
June Calender
I
have been mainly a playwright, but retired from that and am writing a
biography of a
man who traveled in Tibet in 1938. This trek afforded me a chance to
see countryside similar
to what he reported seeing. I also have written a novel, many pieces of
flash fiction,
and
poetry. I teach writing in an adult learning organization.
I
now teach a class of senior citizens here on Cape Cod at the Academy
for Lifelong Learning. It is a writing class called Telling
Stories.
Lately (November 2022) I
have been deep into writing a novel which was published last March and
which is trying to find its place in the world. It's called The
Friendship Quilts (but is a novel, not a how-to). Published by
ATmosphere Press and available (of course) on Amazon as a $18.89
paperback and a bargain as an ebook. (Click here.) Here is the press release.
The Friendship Quilts
In
the tiny town of Friendship, Indiana, Liz discovers the subject for
her art history thesis: resident Geneva Gardiner may be a quilting
“Grandma Moses.”
Lifelong
friend of Liz’s great aunt, Geneva uses only fabric given to
her. She hopes to make 100 quilts for the needy. Her designs and use
of color inspire Liz to label them “Outsider Art.” Liz
and Geneva develop a warm relationship.
As
nontraditional as her topic, Liz studied fine art at Indiana
University and in Europe. For two years she taught English in
Mongolia. Re-entering American academia, Liz discovers today’s
quilting revolution. She interviews Geneva, visits major quilt
exhibitions, reunites with her family and balances two new men in her
life.
