“How lonely the empty house gets at dusk.
Sometimes I imagine you are still here.
I think I see you standing in the doorway
or sitting in a chair, the you the way you were
before you got too sick to walk, too sick
to be left alone.” – Maria Mazziotti Gillan

I wanted to embrace the idyll. I wanted to be firmly convinced that Duncan Smoot’s heaven could have existed. I discovered the romantic landscape paintings of Robert S. Duncanson, an African American painter and member of the Hudson River School gave me the sense that Russell’s Knob was imaginable.
