What's in the daddy closet? A complicated father/daughter relationship, patriarchy itself, vast and contradictory social issues from the 1950s, 1960s and now. Sometimes, real heroes chose non-action or curious actions. Mariane Pearl, a widowed mother-to-be choses not shoot an automatic weapon. A jerk takes a selfie with resting seals. A daughter choses not to avenge a jealous father. Gregory Crewdson burns down a condemned house for a photoshoot. Hemingway is not the perfect role model for all writers.Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass haunt Foley's Department Store. A fake clamshell at a miniature golf course longs for the ocean not to be powered by a nuke. Krishnamurti offers advice from an old video tape. A legless Vietnam vet earns his way selling weed that inspires everyone to dance.Trees celebrate Tu B'Shevat with their own chant. Girls go up in a Piper Cub with Rich instead of studying math. Aveline and Michio Kushi's daughter enjoys a rice ball. Andrew Carnegie plants a Camperdown Elm. These images, sometimes photo-real, sometimes surreal, sometimes magically real offer readers a chance to forage for what will resonate.
