Writer

The Intelligence of Beauty: Conversations with My Mother is a story about legacy. Her legacy. Our family's legacy. It is a story about how she has navigated life beginning in the 1930's. Through interviews, family photographs, letters and poems, my mother retraces her steps in history through the years. Our conversations take us back and forth from the present to the past.
