Flower Diary: In Which Mary Hiester Reid Paints, Travels, Marries & Opens a Door:
"This evocative and thoughtful biography/memoir/reflection on art and creativity is an absorbing read. I knew of Mary Hiester Reid's work but author Molly Peacock situates her paintings in the context of a fascinating life full of the contradictions o"

| Aprils Three is at once a festival of odes with sumptuous vocabulary and photographic homages to the natural world. These poems, full of curiosity, zest, enthusiasm, and vulnerability, reflect on the past--both America's past and the poet's--while be ...more | |

“To classify an intuitively bold and technically deft artist like Mary Hiester Reid as a poetry-reading lady flower painter in a high collar misses the fact that she slipped that collar at every opportunity, and when she couldn't, wore it with stately dignity.”

“Is being burnt a requisite for the making of art? Personally, I don't think it is. But art is poultice for a burn. It is a privilege to have, somewhere within you, a capacity for making something speak from your own seared experience.”

“But if a role model in her seventies isn't layered with contradictions - as we all come to be - then what good is she? Why bother to cut the silhouette of another's existence and place it against our own if it isn't as incongruous, ambiguous, inconsistent, and paradoxical as our own lives are?”
