Author Talk: Into the Wilderness of the Soul


David's new book, Into A Wilderness of the Soul: A New World of Earth and Mind, New Identities in the Americas Before, During, and After European Colonization, is a work combining historical analysis, poignant narratives taken from first-hand accounts, and photographic imagery in a discussion of the American colonial experience. The author will discuss the ideas that Europeans held about the New World on the eve of their cross-Atlantic explorations, how those ideas were affected and altered by what they found in the Americas, and how those ideas have shifted over time and incorporated themselves into our identity as Americans. David then applies what Europeans brought with them in their beliefs to the imagery they wrought onto the burial markers they left throughout Connecticut, and include an extensive retrospective of that imagery in a photographic essay that details the diverse and startling reflections of the fears, hopes, and remembrances of New England that colonials carved into the native stone markers of the oldest cemetery grounds in Connecticut.
