Synopsis

John Nizalowski's essays weave a large tapestry of life events reminiscent of the Mexican Tree of Life. However, his personal odyssey takes a multi-dimensional view. . . . As an artist, his tool box is filled with astonishing talents. He absorbs the movement of his trajectory and incorporates meticulous detail and grace in the images and poetry in his writing . . . . We also get to know the writer's two daughters, Ursula and Isadora, mostly as young children, but also as young women. I'm fascinated by the pictures he draws of his children. They are tender and gentle. The children share their father's joy of hiking and exploring caves, but sometimes he has to explore their fears. They challenge him with questions and with doubts and he answers them truthfully with thoughtful answers. The girls look up to him for guidelines and he listens to their observations and attempts to help them navigate in a complicated world.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born and raised in upstate New York, John Nizalowski grew up in a centuries old home amidst the forests and fields of the Allegheny Plateau. He attended Binghamton University and the University of Delaware, where he received an M.A. in English. In 1986, after five years in the English Department at Virginia Tech, he became an instructor for the College of Santa Fe program at the Penitentiary of New Mexico. He has lived west of the 100th meridian ever since, trading Appalachia's green hills and valleys for the Southwest's red sandstone mesas and canyons. In 1990, Nizalowski left Santa Fe to start his current position at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. While still in college, Nizalowski started his writing career by publishing book reviews in science-fiction magazines and scripting radio ads for local radio stations. In Virginia, he built on this foundation by free-lancing for The Roanoke Times and World News. Then, in New Mexico, Nizalowski's work appeared extensively in The Santa Fe Reporter, The Santa Fe New Mexican, New Mexico Magazine, and Southwest Profile. After settling in western Colorado, Nizalowski began focusing more on his creative and scholarly work, which can be found in Puerto del Sol, Bloomsbury Review, Under the Sun, Weber Studies, Slab, Measure, Digital Americana, Blue Mesa Review, and elsewhere. His writings have also been anthologized in Reading Under the Sign of Nature, The Blueline Anthology, Artifacts and Illuminations, The Spirit That Wants Me, and other volumes. He has also continued his journalistic work in Inside/Outside Southwest, Telluride Magazine, and the Telluride Times-Journal. In addition, Nizalowski is the author of five books: a multi-genre work entitled Hooking the Sun; two collections of poetry, The Last Matinée and East of Kayenta; and two volumes of essays, Land of Cinnamon Sun and Chronicles of the Forbidden - both on Irie Books. Currently, John Nizalowski lives in Grand Junction with his wife Brenda Wilhelm, a professor of sociology at Colorado Mesa University, where Nizalowski teaches mythology, creative writing, and composition. His blog, "Dispatches from the Land of Cinnamon Sun," can be found at http: //johnnizalowski.blogspot.com/
