Flower Diary: Mary Hiester Reid Paints, Travels, Marries & Opens a Door, with author Molly Peacock.
Molly Peacock looks at the balancing act of female creativity and domesticity in the Edwardian Age with the life of Mary Hiester Reid, a virtually unknown painter who produced over 300 stunning, emotive florals, still lifes, and landscapes. Mary trailblazed a life as a professional artist without having to live as a tragic heroine.
Molly Peacock is the author of seven books of poetry, including The Analyst, The Second Blush and Cornucopia: New & Selected Poems. She is also the author of several books of prose and a memoir, Paradise, Piece by Piece. Her poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Nation, The New Republic, and The Paris Review.
