Memory and it's loss--survival, endurance--?The Tiki Room,? is a vision both elegiac, and horrifying, chronicling the struggles of two lives intertwined. The landscapes are stoic, small town New Hampshire, during the 1950?s, where I lived with my beloved grandparents, contrasted against the harshness of life with my mother, and my husband?s story in Bosnia and the diaspora. The coalescence of these environments, and some of the tragic consequences, have been passages filled with destruction, loss, and renewal.

About the Author
Ihave often found myself listening to people tell their stories. Peoplewho had never talked about their past would suddenly stop what theywere doing and tell me extraordinary things, painful things, thatbrought a deep silence to my mind. Still, I felt a voice inside of methat wanted to respond with my own story. I never allowed myself, untilnow, because it felt selfish to mention that I had suffered too. Thesilence created barriers of anger and sadness within me that were hardto breach. That I broke through that barricade by writing has been one of the great surprises of my life. I started out as a visual artist, the painting on the cover is my work,and in other media such as fireworks, and performance art. My work hasbeen seen throughout New England and internationally through artist exchanges in Macedonia and Croatia. Currently, I am the Director of a Public Library in New Hampshire.

from someone else....*G* I didn't write it!,
This review is from: The Tiki Room (Hardcover)
"Your memoir is achingly beautiful, exquisitely written, and handled with such deftness and depth, it most certainly demonstrates patient self-reflection, mastery of craft and form as well as a literary tenderness. At times the level of remembered detail, the sensory, the natural world---and your ability to find a language capable of containing your internal landscape, in sentences which flow as naturally as breath, is quite stunning. I am in admiration of your work. I am in admiration of your life."Award-winning Playwright, Poet, Acclaimed Actor, Nehassaiu de Gannes
