“It’s a landscape that has imprinted itself on me.” Marc Nieson shares his vision of Iowa and the world talking about his memoir- Schoolhouse: Lessons on love and landscape. “How much do you take something for granted because you see it everyday, or not see what is there, because you’re speeding by at seventy miles an hour…Learning how to read a landscape, and see patterns, not all unlike learning to see how words create patterns on a page.”
It’s a craft like any other one, you must make a practice….it’s the tenacity that’s going to make you a better writer.
