About the Book
STATES OF MIND is a collection of the author's letters from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and St David's, Pennsylvania, to a very literate and old-fashioned gentleman in San Francisco. Written between 1993 and 2000, they are insightful, humorous and sometimes grouchy. They reflect two very diverse places in the American landscape-some would say no two places could be more different!-and the author deftly switches roles with changes in locale.
About the Author
Dayton Lummis is a graduate of Yale University, and for many years served as a Director of small cultural history museums in various Western states. In 1992 he retired to a ?casita? in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shortly after that he inherited a small suburban house outside Philadelphia, which he decided to keep. He began alternating between both houses, and in doing so developed two distinctly different ?states of mind.? He very much enjoys his ?split personality ??
