“In my travels in the U.S. and abroad, I have enjoyed visiting more than thirty authors' former homes. I have come to recognize the inherent value in being able to stand and see where they lived and created their work. There is, quite simply, no substitute. This studio project is an exciting and invaluable opportunity for current and future generations of adults and youth alike to experience in person the environment that provided an intimate backdrop to Miller's writing, passions, and vision.”
