Memoirtistry is how I process my inner experience of the world around me; with words and paint, through memoir and artistry. It is how I make sense of my existence. I create intuitively, allowing flow to carry me from keystroke to brushstroke, uninhibited by interruption or interrogation. There is rhyme and reason to my process though it is often veiled in mystery in metaphors and abstraction until I am ready to receive the lesson. When I am open, the communication is clear and unavoidable; I am moved to invite awareness, despite the pain and fear. more

In preparing these volumes for the public, I have entered upon the task with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether on the National or Confederate side, other than the unavoidable injustice of not making mention often where special mention is due. There must be many errors of omission in this work, because the subject is too large to be treated of in two volumes in such way as to do justice to all the officers and men engaged. There were thousands of instances, during the rebellion, of individual, company, regimental and brigade deeds of heroism which deserve special mention and are not here alluded to. The troops engaged in them will have to look to the detailed reports of their individual commanders for the full history of those deeds. (Summary by U. S. Grant) more

Confessions (Latin: Confessiones) is the name of an autobiographical work, consisting of 13 books, by St. Augustine of Hippo, written between AD 397 and AD 398.

I have found that the best way to heal is to tell the truth of my own story and that the best way to help is to listen to another's truth. Speaking our stories sets us free. Alive & Kicking is a podcast where I talk to people about their path of waking up to the truth of who they really are, what they really want and why they came here. What we learn is that the breakdowns we experience aren't failures; they're accelerators to the breakthroughs. And, what we thought of as our disasters was later revealed as our deliverance. When we willingly step into the open space of real and vulnerable dialogue, healing becomes possible for us all. more

Misty reads from her memoir and talks about her journey—from living in a motel with her family while learning to dance—to the highly publicized custody battle that gave her the freedom to embrace both her identity and her dreams. more

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) began writing his autobiography long before the 1906 publications of these Chapters from my Autobiography. He originally planned to have his memoirs published only after his death but realized, once he'd passed his 70th year, that a lot of the material might be OK to publish before his departure. These chapters were published in serial form in the North American Review during 1906-1907. While much of the material consists of stories about the people, places and incidents of his long life, there are also several sections from his daughter, which he calls 'Susy's biography of me'. (Summary by John Greenman) more

Jane Addams was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In a long, complex career, she was a pioneer settlement worker and founder of Hull-House in Chicago, public philosopher (the first American woman in that role), author, and leader in woman suffrage and world peace. She was the most prominent woman of the Progressive Era and helped turn the nation to issues of concern to mothers, such as the needs of children, public health and world peace. She emphasized that women have a special responsibility to clean up their communities and make them better places to live, arguing they needed the vote to be effective. Addams became a role model for middle-class women who volunteered to uplift their communities. This recording of her memoir Twenty Years at Hull-House commemorates the 100th anniversary of its publication, the 150th anniversary of Addams' birth, and was released on December 10th, the anniversary of Addams receiving her Nobel Prize.

Cellini's autobiographical memoirs, which he began writing in Florence in 1558, give a detailed account of his singular career, as well as his loves, hatreds, passions, and delights, written in an energetic, direct, and racy style. They show a great self-regard and self-assertion, sometimes running into extravagances which are impossible to credit. He even writes in a complacent way of how he contemplated his murders before carrying them out. He writes of his time in Paris: Parts of his tale recount some extraordinary events and phenomena; such as his stories of conjuring up a legion of devils in the Colosseum, after one of his not innumerous mistresses had been spirited away from him by her mother; of the marvelous halo of light which he found surrounding his head at dawn and twilight after his Roman imprisonment, and his supernatural visions and angelic protection during that adversity; and of his being poisoned on two separate occasions.The autobiography is a classic, and commonly regarded as one of the most colourful; it is certainly the most important autobiography from the Renaissance. Cellini's autobiography is one of the books Tom Sawyer mentions as inspiration while freeing Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Karen Merline) more

Autobiography of Cole Younger, American Civil War veteran and member of the Jesse James gang.

Its original title was 'Confessions in Thirteen Books', and it was composed to be read out loud with each book being a complete unit. (Summary by Wikipedia) more

Anthony Trollope's autobiography will delight you whether or not you've read (or listened to) any of his many works.

Fans of Trollope will enjoy learning the man's perceptions of his novels' shortcomings and triumphs. Anyone will appreciate learning about his years devoted to churning out literature for profit while working full time with the post office. (Summary by JessicaLouise) more

Perhaps the first memoir written by a film celebrity, Pearl White's Just Me gives a first-person account of the actress' rise to stardom. White guides us through her early childhood, her development as a performer, and finally to her breakout role in The Perils of Pauline--a role that made her the most popular 'serial queen' of early cinema. Although romanticized and somewhat embellished, this book gives us a fascinating glimpse into the film industry's earliest years and the various myths of film stardom. (Summary by ChuckW) more

Peter Kropotkin was a Russian anarcho-communist and scientist. This is his autobiography, and he writes not only about his own life, but also about 19th century Russian society and politics. He was born into the nobility and had a military education, but he gradually abandoned the values of his social class and became an anti-authoritarian socialist, opposed to both the rule of the Tsars and to the seizing of power by the authoritarian Bolsheviks. He was also interested in literature, biology, economics and geographical exploration. This second and last volume of his memoirs covers his time in St Petersburg, his time in prison, and his journeys in Western Europe. ( Summary by Elin ) more

Nat Love was born a slave, emancipated into abject poverty, grew up riding the range as a cowboy and spent his maturity riding the rails as a Pullman Porter. For me, the most amazing thing about him is that despite the circumstances of his life, which included being owned like a farm animal solely because of the color of his skin and spending later decades living and working as an equal with white coworkers, he was an unrepentant racist! Convinced that the only good Indian was a dead one, and that all Mexicans were 'greasers' and/or 'bums,' he rarely passed up a chance to shoot a member of either group, whether in self-defense or cold blood, and shows no sign of having appreciated the difference. At one point, he fell in love with a Mexican girl but, apparently unable to tolerate this reality, considered her 'Spanish.' Nat Love was a fascinating character who lived in equally interesting times, and one only wishes his autobiography was much longer and more detailed. (Summary by ohsostrange) more

Shadow of a Mercenary, is a dramatic true docu-story that chronicles the life of Verlin Siefkes: an adopted Kansas farm kid who built a successful crop dusting business and an ex-Marine, who got squeezed by crooked bankers during the late 70s-80s during the Farm-Aid & War on Drugs era.Unfortunately, a greedy financial institution officers push Verlin to the brink, so he finally agreed to use his flying skills to transport a shipment of Quaaludes for a friend, to help feed his family and keep his crop-dusting business alive. Verlin wasn't aware his employer was being watched by the FEDs and on a rainy night in Georgia his plane is brought down in a cornfield. Verlin was given two choices; stay in jail with a young daughter at home or become a drug-running double-agent spy for the U.S. government.In 1988, Verlin was kidnapped for 28 days by Escobar's Medellin cartel, because of several internal DEA mistakes. Verlin not only survived captivity but was eventually forced to return only to be shunned and left for dead by the very government he served in the Marines.'Because if you don't really exist, it's easy to be betrayed, when you're the Shadow of a Mercenary.' more

A podcast reflecting on life, music, and the mundane.

'Thus I have acted; these were my thoughts; such was I.'Rousseau's lengthy and sometimes anguished dossier on the Self is one of the most remarkable and courageous works of introspection ever undertaken. Some readers may be repelled by his tendency to revel in embarrassing accounts of humiliation and fiasco, as if he were striving too hard to achieve an ultimate nakedness, a nakedness of the soul perhaps. Others may recall the compulsive self-searching of the narrator of Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu, who also rather dwelt on the co-existence in the individual of the vile and the virtuous.The two opening volumes of the Confessions, presented in this inevitably censored edition of 1903, deal with the author's childhood and callow adolescence.Here he is...

His hand gripped my bicycle seat as he ran alongside me that warm summer day. Even though he was young and strong, he was breathing heavily, keeping me upright while we made our way down the street. 'Don't let go me go, Daddy,' I said as I concentrated on steadying myself.'I won't let go of you, honey; not until you can do it on your own.' My father spoke in short breaths as his feet kept the same pace on the ground as my feet on the bike pedals. I was scared, but with my father by my side I felt safe and protected, and I knew that one day I would do this on my own. With my father by my side, I knew that he always would be there to pick me up, hold me upright, and make everything okay.I want to share my Dad, Joe Romano, with you and what a wonderful father he was—such a character! For a life so large, no words will ever be enough, but I dedicate to him on this March 14th—his birthday—these memories and all my love.And I wish you too, dear reader, inner peace and a life filled with love. more

Being an adopted child, I searched for my birth family, for nearly two decades, without using present DNA methods. Writing about my adventures, realizing that I might be a writer, though not by decision, but by genetic persuasion, an indescribable wIll to share my thoughts on paper, in an effort to fulfill my heart's demands, seems to flow in my blood with a warm passion. My first novel is complete, as I discovered I was conceived in what was a 1950' s Basque establishment resembling a Saloon from the Wild West, born in a Catholic Orphanage, and adopted by a wonderful Italian family. more

Based on a book

is a magnificent moment of my childhood that I will never forget because I could know

Re-Remembered is a story about fathers and sons, baseball, and mental illness. It is in the form of a one act play that describes how I used a creative, photographic process to reconnect with my estranged and long-deceased father.When I was five years old, my father suffered a bipolar episode and was sent to a psychiatric institution. It started him on a long descent from top IBM salesman to homeless on the streets of Brooklyn some 20 years later. Our relationship followed a similar trajectory; we spoke only twice in his final ten years.I began this creative journey by photographing the childhood objects that I most associated with my father. Over time, it became a trip into the emotional core of these objects, unearthing the feelings and memories associated with a black wallet, wingtip shoes, zippo lighter, baseball glove and many other long-forgotten items.Creating the series brought up many childhood memories. At first, all were negative experiences that reinforced my perception of my father with all his faults and tragedies. However, during the process I was able to see these experiences from a different perspective. The belief that my father 'never gave me anything except heartache' was slowly replaced by a long list of very specific positive traits, skills and opportunities that were given to me from my Dad. Many of these were jolting but pleasant surprises. For example, I realized just a few years ago that my introduction into image making started with my Dad filming me around the house and yard. This astounded me.I started to look for these connections as I realized that there were probably more surprises to be found. It was not difficult. Most were memories that had been part of my conscious past; it was just a matter of seeing them from a different perspective. These memories and their transformation from pain to pleasure are the framework of re-Remembered; a 40-minute monologue designed to be delivered surrounded by the large photographic works. It's a testament to the belief that it is never too late to have a happy childhood. more
