Still Life is a weekly letter for the human spirit.

I started this labor of love in 2018, and each Monday, you can expect a curated letter with visual art, a poem, a song, and a personal reflection tying it all together.

Still Life is a weekly letter for curious people looking for lost things, for the spirit-minded and open-hearted, for seriously playful adults, for amateurs who love poetry and art and music, and anyone who wants rehumanize the world.

Thank you for reading. I’m glad you’re here!

“Even after six years, I still want to read it every time it shows up. (Often I cannot bear to delete it from my overstuffed inbox in case I want to read it again).”

“Michael’s work in Still Life is so attentive, full of vitality, and steeped in generous curiosity. I love seeing the art and poems he collects, and reading his thoughts about them. Such a gift.”

"He creates connective threads between art, poetry, and spirit. Often real scholarly thought, independent of any institution...just a smart guy doing the work."

"Michael is one of the smartest and most thoughtful people I know with the most passion for art and spirituality. Even those new to the world
will be grateful for his words."

“Michael’s a thoughtful, gentle, warm, and erudite guide through matters of art & spirit. He has taught me many things and always nudges me
toward greater awareness.”
