Isle Royale Reflection"For three weeks in September of 2017, I was the Artist-In-Residence at Isle Royale National Park, a little-known but brilliant program administered by the Park Service to foster the connections between solitude, wilderness, and art; three vital respites that share much in common, but perhaps nothing quite so much as the quality of being endangered. Hermited away on the greenstone shores, I filtered drinking water from the mighty lake, fended off cold with nightly fires, gazed at shooting stars and slow moving freighters, and worked on songwriting for ten hours a day. For three weeks spoke nary a word to another human. In this extreme solitude well beyond cell-range and internet, I began to see Isle Royale and places like it as a nexus of the political, environmental, psychological & spiritual upheaval of our shaky times."
