“I have never seen anything quite like Priscilla Long’s book. It presents a true mentor for the advanced writer: sophisticated, demanding, and kind.” — Maya Sonenberg, author of Bad Mothers, Bad Daughters
On Spaces and Colors
ISBN 978-0-8263-7007-5
“Priscilla Long has written a book that’s a balm for anyone who’s felt beaten down by the unrelenting assault of modern life and who’s looking for a way to sidestep, a way that can help you rest and think more deeply, even if you don’t have a place to escape to. By examining the spaces and colors and systems that make up our environment, she suggests new ways of existing within them, ways that provide insight and delight for the open and curious mind.” —Patrick Madden, author of Disparates: Essays
