My living room. Don Quixote reminding me
that it is all windmills. A balcony opening on to the wide world. A
chair with light coming over the left shoulder. A table and
chairs for when friends come.
7. Where I Live and What I Do
If you and I met at a professional convention
and you asked me, “What do you do?” I would answer you in one way. But
if we met at a park bench, I would answer you in another. What follows
is the park-bench version.
I live in Amherst, Massachusetts, in a sweet
little apartment just a few steps from the Black Sheep, the town common,
and the Emily Dickinson homeplace.
I teach piano lessons, edit, write, draw,
and—now that I have my own kitchen—cook.
I have family nearby. One sister lives in
Portland, Maine, and another in New York. My daughter Stephanie lives
in southern Vermont with her husband Konstantine and their children
Adaylia and Annika. My son John lives in Richmond, Virginia, and he and
Andrea have a son, Mason.
Well, that’s about me. What about you?
