  • I’ll be READING in BOSTON 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 18 at Brookline Booksmith

    If you live in or near Boston, I hope to see you at my reading from Pure Act: The Uncommon Life of Robert Lax at 7 p.m. this coming Thursday.  The reading will be at the great independent bookstore Brookline Booksmith at 279 Harvard St. in Brookline.

  • A Note from A Canadian Reader

    I recently received the note below from a Canadian reader.  It expresses so well the kind of response I would hope for–to my book and to Lax–that I had to share it.

    “Thank you so very much for writing Pure Act! Like Robert Lax’s poetry it’s a welcoming place to go to as the competition, chaos and anxiety of the 21st century become ever-more overwhelming. At 66, I don’t think I’ve ever read a biography or memoir that is both so enlightening and comforting—one of which I can say, ‘This is thoroughly necessary.’”
