Theresa Williams-Author [Exile Edition]

I'm a University Lecturer in English and the author of a novel, The Secret of Hurricanes (MacAdam/Cage 2002). My life is summed up by Rumi, who said: "My story gets told in various ways: a romance, a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy." Rumi's quote is the epigraph to Hurricanes. The purpose of this journal is to explore creativity and the writing life.

An image of The Greatest Love of Don Juan by Felicien Rops can be seen here.

The shape behind the naked girl is ghostly, human. The shape behind the girl in Edvard Munch's painting, Puberty, is "phallic."

About Me

Theresa Williams: Northwest Ohio, United States; "I was no better than dust, yet you cannot replace me. . . Take the soft dust in your hand--does it stir: does it sing? Has it lips and a heart? Does it open its eyes to the sun? Does it run, does it dream, does it burn with a secret, or tremble In terror of death? Or ache with tremendous decisions?. . ." --Conrad Aiken
