    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Gilded Imagination ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Gilded Imagination&quot; is about one of my favorite architects, Stanford White (a terribly flawed human being but a genius nevertheless). Few artists have had as great an impact on RI as White who designed countless gorgeous buildings throughout the state during the golden age (the turn of the 20th century). My house painter grandfather may have known Stanford White when he was working on some of the great mansions of the period. By today&#039;s standards the color schemes and decoration of that time would seem rather gloomy (muted and dark—perfect as a background for all the gold, silver, and silk on display). Each of my issues deals with some aesthetic that interests me and Rhode Island is a perfect place for artistic exploration.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[More Preternatural Investigations: post-pandemic journal ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A creative writing and journal project. Although my tales are rather fanciful, I have still tried to express what my mind has gone through during the years of Covid-19. I was particularly interested in what estrangement does to us—and in particular to me. As a legally blind individual I have always felt a bit isolated in that I have never been able to drive. And yet I know that now 83, I have had a wonderful life—the experience that art can give us where we explore the interior of existence. I think I have mentioned to you that as a child that my parents read to me the great works of  literature  for an hour every night. And this continued into adulthood.  As to my journal, I have already written much of the next two issues which I will call now a &quot;Post-pandemic Journal&quot; and focus on how life has changed with the epidemic behind us.]]></dcterms:description>
