Congratulations to Lois Eustis Tate on this amazing book and all her work on it, and to Bronwen for this terrific interview.
My mom just published her first book at 79!
It’s a memoir/biography of celebrated Canadian potter Wayne Ngan and their lifelong friendship.

The day I got tenure my dad went to the ER with pain and shortness of breath and was diagnosed with acute leukemia.
A little over a month later, I took a day away from the hospital, where I was spending almost all my time, to get my first tattoo.
Here are some notes on all of this that kept circling my mind on walks or in the shower.
