Letter to Kippy
By Roger ConoverWhen I first met you, twenty years ago, it was this time of year. The season was turning; ducks were beginning to migrate from the coast of Maine to wherever they go in the winter. When I entered your workshop, you were clipping the wings of a few wild ducks that you wanted to keep on your pond by Deer Acres so that they would be there in Spring.
Bob Keyes’s The Isolation Artist
By Roger ConoverThis book is a master lesson on how not to be an artist. It is also a fable, although the cast of characters is not made up of forest animals but island people.
