Gillian has written a beautiful story of a passionate collector, talented costumer and visionary - Kent Warner. An complex, imperfect, whirlwind of a man who was both loved and hated - often deservedly and simultaneously. This piece revolves around his chaotic life, tragic young death and a search for grace, self-acceptance and peace. Things that I believe Kent, and most of us, could do with every so often.
