TALIESIN is an experimental look at the murders and fires that destroyed Frank Lloyd Wright’s personal home in Wisconsin. Details from Wright's life are set at the top of each page with visceral moments from the author’s life at the bottom. Images of the home and grounds are featured throughout.

As a child, Frank Lloyd Wright listened to his father play Beethoven on the piano late into the night, “Living seemed a kind of ‘listening’ to him . . . Sometimes it was as though a door would open, and he could get the beautiful meaning quite clear. Then it would close and the meaning would be dim or far away. But always there was some meaning.”

The spring I began reading Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography, a coyote started following me on solo-hikes around Griffith Park in Los Angeles. He stayed far enough away that I wasn’t afraid. It was like he knew exactly how much distance allows two creatures to feel alone.
