Narrative Wilderness: Being in Time and Place

In Narrative Wilderness, Being in Time and Place, artist Bonnie Durrance takes us on a journey in which leaving home becomes a way to learn how to see clearly and how to love. Lyrical, wry, and painterly, she tells us how she learned to protect her creative self in a loving marriage. Not enough Virginia Woolf's room of one's own; Durrance needs a whole building, if only a ten-by-ten "casita" where she can smell the ocean. "All I ever wanted, visible and invisible, I found here," she writes. Then circumstances force her and her husband to put their idyl up for sale.
