Second Skin
by Sally Bliumis-Dunn ’77
Wind Publications, October 2010
“In Sally Bliumis-Dunn’s Second Skin, she explores the DNA of family connections with delicacy touched by a quiet though formidable strength. Bliumis-Dunn
is building something mysterious and beautiful, as she talks through the language of things. There is a fearlessness in the way she allows herself to fall into the vastness of vulnerability. In Second Skin, the wonder and perils of the natural world mirror the emotional terrain we all navigate with those we love.”
—Frances Richey, The Warrior
