“This is how time works — one foot in front of the other, one breath after another — passage. Is there no other choice?”

            — from SCHOOLHOUSE
 

SCHOOLHOUSE  Lessons on Love & Landscape
Release Date: October 2016 
Publisher: Ice Cube Press

“I’ve come to think we all experience one love
that stays with us, at least one impassioned relationship that, for better or worse, upends us.”
 
What would you do in the wake of a ten-year love affair?
When every street corner, every restaurant and movie theater,
every pothole runs deep with presences, absences?
Where could you go to escape the longing?

Iowa. Iowa?! Yes, a place where no one knows you. Where an
old one-room schoolhouse stands waiting among 500 acres of
remote Midwestern woodlands. Where you can go to hide your
heart. Or so you thought.
 
In this modern-day Walden, Marc Nieson takes us on an intimate journey into the heartlands of where identity, place, and romance all intersect. Schoolhouse is a study in both nature and human nature—offering honest lessons on what we all might need to learn and unlearn about our pasts, our futures. Our exiles, our connections.
