“Howard Mansfield is a ‘whisperer’ of everyday things: sheds, mountains, meeting houses, the seasons themselves. In his skilled and poetic hands, the simple and familiar are revealed in a complexity and eloquence we never imagined. Invisible Monuments further highlights his extraordinary gifts of language and insight. That time-worn statue in the park that anonymously blends into the scenery? You will never look at it the same way again.”
— Ted Reinstein, Chronicle, WCVB-TV, Channel 5
Howard Mansfield writes about architecture, preservation, and history in his quest to understand the soul of American places.
