Bangor Daily News obituary
The Greater Sum of Parts
The thing about Ashley Bryan
isn't that he is
painter and poet
storyteller and scholar
philosopher and veteran
brother and son;
nor is it
his collection of
songs and sea glass
driftwood and bones,
memories of love
dressed in crepe paper flowers.
The thing about Ashley Bryan
is that
when he takes your hand
all those pieces come together
like a found art puppet
like cut-paper collage
like a thing called
grace.
