Loved GodPretty in the Tobacco Field. Curious about your use of Paris green insecticide. I do not recall the connection between Paris green and artists pigments being mentioned. Also the association of "Paris" with art, and the euphemism the girls used of "go to Paris", made me wonder how planned THIS use of Paris green by an artist was, or did it just happen? Thank you!

Oh wow, Albert, I had forgotten all about this and it's fun to revisit. Thanks for your question. When I was a child I worked the tobaccos one summer and we used Paris Green as an insecticide. It was what I jokingly called it when they sprayed for hornworms. =)

I just finished "Book Woman" and absolutely loved it. I am not from Kentucky and had never heard of the blue-skinned people nor would have imagined that they would have been treated in the way they were. Is there a series in the works, perhaps? Well done and thank you!
