Geoffrey Paul Carpenter currently lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A native of Washington State, the author spent his youth on a farm before going on to earn a Ph.D. in English. In a move to invigorate his own creative life, he turned down a tenure-track position and moved to South America to write. For research the author studied Frederic Church's travel diaries, floated the Amazon, trekked through the jungles of Ecuador, and climbed the slopes of Cotopaxi. Like Church's painting, Carpenter's writing is, in part, a quest to understand the quality and dimensions of the human experience of beauty.
