I am so proud of and honored by this award. Working with the wonderful editors at EH, Mark Hersey and Stephen Brain, was transformative for me as an author and as an editor. My deep thanks, too, to the extraordinary readers who saw what I was trying to do and helped me to do it better. #earlymodern

When words fail me, exhaust me, disappear into the abyss, I go back to the astonishing work of the Peruvian artist Issa Watanabe. If you don't know her, find her. _Migrants_ and _Kintsugi_ are equally extroardinary. www.mythaunty.com/post/migrant...
