An Evening of “Genius”: Wining and dining with biographer Justin Martin at 610 Magnolia [Books]

The Olmsted Parks Conservancy hosted an evening of good wine, treats and conversation with Justin Martin, author of Genius of Place: The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted.

It was a perfect evening for a leisurely walk.  Hosted a mere stone’s throw away from our humble abode in Old Louisville, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy’s Meet Justin Martin event provided an excellent opportunity for my handsome date and myself to enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood.  I’d imagine Olmsted would be pleased; his ideas of calming scenery, urban beauty and reflection through nature converged perfectly for our slow-paced, two block amble.  Mature trees drape their heavy heads over the sidewalks; a riot of foliage carpets our path.&nbs

Interview: Bringing the brilliance of F. Law Olmsted to life with biographer Justin Martin [Books]

Mr. Martin and I talk design, life, tragedy and true genius in the legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted. Join Justin Martin, author of Genius of Place: The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted, on Wednesday, October 12th for an evening of good food and book discussion at 610 Magnolia restaurant.

My book arrived well-packaged.  Loopy, slapdash script in a fat-tip Sharpie proclaimed “requested” across the white space of a tightly-furled bubble mailer.  Straight from the publisher; “requested” indeed.  The book is very pretty: a smooth, satisfying tactile dust jacket colored in shades of sepia; Frederick Olmsted’s portrait leans like a pensive shadow, a believable amount of grain gently hazing his features.  I like the creeping ivy overlaid on the spine.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I have arrived.
