Overview
"Over the last three years, a number of people very dear to me have passed away. A dancer, a photographer, a Shakespearean double, a grandfather still shrouded in mystery. Each, in their own way, harbingers of untold stories. I realized, slowly, that a sense of peace could be found through small acts of translation. Memories became settings became characters both unfamiliar and comforting. I suppose, at its core, this collection is an exploration of loss. But I have come to view it more as a testament to the spirit with which these friends moved through life. And, perhaps, a chance to know myself through them." -- Abstract
