Thoreau at Mackinac Book, Art Exhibit and Award

The Mackinac Island Arts Council is publishing a book of stories, essays and poems called Thoreau At Mackinac. They had a marvelous event on July 8 (I wasn't present)

But I am delighted to say that I am in the book & I have received recognition (a monetary award) for my essay- a cross between non-fiction and fiction.  I describe it as a film just beyond reach.  This is how I see history, a series of stories we tell ourselves and future generations based on the few facts we have.

Below is the galley copy I've received, as well as the first page of the essay.


The book itself.
