About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one thing you kept, and I write it back so it stays. You send me one object, one room, or one place that matters, plus a line or two about who it came from, or why it never got thrown out. In return you get a short piece of 300 to 500 words built around that thing: the surface of it, the light in the room it lives in, the person it came from, the reason it stays. Not a eulogy and not a card. Something small and exact that holds the thing without explaining it away. One revision is included, and your details stay private. If you are unsure, write to me first. If I cannot hear the piece in what you send, I will say so before anything else happens.
