We've all traveled Hartwell Road but most of us have not explored
it as deeply and thoughtfully as Reg Darling. Hartwell Road is an
internal place, a touchstone that centers and nourishes us - a
place that contains our experience and provides a route to our own
true nature. Darling's journey wends though a terrain rich in folk
wisdom and communion with the real world (minus all the consumerist
crap); it meanders through the philosophy of art and the sublime
act of creation; it traverses the wonders of sexual passion and the
ultimate solace of true love; it cuts back into a maze of
drug-induced insights and the pristine clearing of deep spiritual
conviction; it climbs through the bonds we build with the people
around us and the inevitable physical end of those connections; and
it plows headlong into the necessity of political activism and the
bravery of standing against popular notions about what it means to
"be free."
This book will likely induce tears as it transports you through
reflections on the connections and losses in your own life - a
process at once painful and glorious. This is a book that will
speak directly to the non-conforming spirits of the baby-boom
generation - especially as we navigate the mounting upheavals and
uncertainties of the 21st Century and come to grips with our own
impending mortality.
While Hartwell Road sometimes seems exotic and foreign, we round
the bend and realize it is the same road that we too have been
walking, only seen from a slightly different and meticulously
well-rendered point of view.
Dan R. Talley is an arts administrator, curator, and critic who
has been involved in the making, exhibiting, and analysis of
contemporary art for over30 years. He is a practicing vegetarian
and a long-time animal rights advocate who, nonetheless, finds
Darling's sensitive and deeply felt philosophy about the order of
nature strangely compatible with his own.
