“I’ve been painting for 45 years–as long as I’ve been writing and meditating. Painting has been my secret delight and has only had public notice with the publication of Living Color: Painting, Writing, and the Bones of Seeing (Abrams, 2013), Top of My Lungs: Poems and Paintings (Overlook Press, 2003), and The Essential Writer’s Notebook (Peter Pauper Press, 2003).”
