A collection of 55 portraits. Of family. Of heroes. Of folk. Of celebrities. Of those who shaped our lives, our places, our memories. From musicians and writers to actors and athletes, from victims and survivors to changemakers and politicians, we see the full social spectrum. Stretching back to the 1970s, these portraits-in-language include traditional renderings, sprawling treatments, snapshots, monologues, in-depth profiles, sketches, book reviews, a journal, an interview, a self-portrayal, and groups in their own frames. Readers will recognize Maya Angelou, Bob Dylan, Tony Conigliaro, Stephen King, Leymah Gbowee, Joan Baez, and Jack Kerouac. Beyond the known persons, readers will meet remarkable men and women, not household names, whom the author encountered up close or at a distance, like Jim Casselton, Katherine O'Donnell Murphy, and Hamid Ismailov.
