520 1 $a""When you truly fall in love, whether with a person or a place, you make everything else fit around it. The last eight years of my life have been a love affair with this place."---Gwendolyn Bounds, author of Little Chapel on the River: A Pub, a Town, and the Search for What Matters Most" ""May has assembled an astonishing collection of portraits. What's particularly cool is that they are truly story-telling---they grab you and compel you to actually want to read the work of the writers she photographed---this is no small thing in a busy world saturated with imagery. This book gives us not only a revealing visual record of just how rich the Hudson Valley is in talent, but also a treasure map to a lifetime's worth of great works."---Doug Menuez, photographer" ""A book of great beauty and emotion, at once revealing and painfully intimate. Nina Shengold's deceptively easy conversational tone, coupled with the powerful black and white photos by Jennifer May, provides an instant connection---you feel you are in the same room with their subject while the interview is taking place."---Frank Juliano, Executive Director, The Hudson Valley Writers' Center and Slapering Hol Press" "For centuries, writers have drawn inspiration from the Hudson River and its surroundings. John Burroughs, James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edith Wharton all lived and worked in the region immortalized by the Hudson River School of painters. In River of Words, author Nina Shengold and photographer Jennifer May explore the current crop of Hudson Valley writers, offering intimate portraits of seventysix contemporary writers who live and work in this magnificent and storied region. Included in this rich collection of emerging and established novelists, memoirists, poets, journalists, and screenwriters are Pulitzer Prize-winners John Ashbery and the late Frank McCourt, bestselling memoirists Julie Powell and Susan Orlean, and distinguished emigres Chinua Achebe and Da Chen. What draws these writers together is not only their devotion to their art but their love and affection for the Hudson Valley. Through words and photographs, River of Words offers an inside perspective on the literary life, the craft of writing, and the pull of this distinctive American landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
