I think of it as an artist's notebook, a prayer book, a monumental compendium of what it means to stay alive.\" -Mary Ruefle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed poet, artist, and bestselling memoirist Nick Flynn presents a self-portrait via a constellation of topics that have circled his work. Ranging from the impact of suicide and homelessness to addiction, political engagement, and the vital power of artistic friendships, \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e is a mixed-media retrospective that shows nothing is created in isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMirroring Flynn's life, this work of visual and literary memoir is populated by examples of his collaborations since the 1980s with such luminaries as the photographers Amy Arbus and Catherine Opie, composer Guy Barash, actor Robert De Niro, cartoonist Josh Neufeld, author Sarah Sentilles, filmmaker Paul Weitz, and artists John Baldessari, Marilyn Minter, and Bill Shuck. In Flynn's refusal to conform to narrative or the safety of his own perspective, \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e grasps for an essential truth, an answer to what art, in the end, can and cannot reflect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Flynn\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a ship's captain, an electrician, and a caseworker for homeless adults.
