Welcome
You: What’s happening on your book? How about you in the Boston Globe Sunday Travel section and elsewhere?
Janet: The Globe recently ran my piece on the Osher Map Library, one of the great places I’ve visited for “Art and Oddities,” my book about museums in Maine (it’ll be out spring 2011 from Countryman Press, a division of WW Norton.) Next the Globe travel section featured my road trip in Alberta on the Cowboy Trail. Wellesley Weston Magazine’s spring issue has another–a look at important work, past and present, at the Wellesley Centers for Women. They’re posted in my Portfolio’s Features. I’m always open to ideas so send yours to me!
What’s next?
“I’m polishing off an upcoming article on Lovin’ Spoonfuls, Inc.., a new food rescue program in Boston that could become the equal of City Harvest in NYC someday. The piece will run in Wellesley Weston Magazine. For the book, I did an interview with the head of the Maine Arts Commission, Donna McNeil, who was generous with insights and information–so much so that our conversation may set the stage for the entire volume. By the end of June I plan (and hope!) to visit the last of the Maine museums that will be included. It’s all coming together–very exciting!
Can we take a peek at what’s in store?
“Mr. Thompson’s Frozen Asset,”" ”History as a Story Well-Told” and ”What it Takes to Float their Boats,” will give you the flavor of what Art and Oddities will contain. Much more to come!
