Join us in welcoming Robin Baker Leacock author of Radiance: Worth Reimagined. Copies are available for purchase and signing.
Acclaimed documentarian and author Robin Baker Leacock has turned her lens on the joyfulness of
aging, fashion, and a storied New York City eatery. Now she is focusing on the cost of being human with her new book, RADIANCE: WORTH REIMAGINED (G Editions; April 11, 2023), a collection of essays, poems, musings, and photographs that contemplate and envision how and why we define and embrace what is important in our lives.
When it feels like we, as a society, are measuring ourselves against the curated social media images of picture-perfect vacations, pristine kitchen counters, well-behaved and dressed families, and stylized friends clinking glasses of wine, Baker Leacock challenges us to look inward and decide what we value most about ourselves.
“RADIANCE is about what we value as a culture,” explains Leacock, “emphasizing the idea that worth is entirely up to the individual: what they are worth, others are worth, objects are worth; the value of our inner self, that we are enough and more than enough and already have what we are running around seeking.”
With the help of Leacock’s words and images, readers can consider what they cherish about themselves, what matters to them in their lives, and how they can connect with their inner beauty in order to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
