The Bath was released in May, 2013. It was inspired by and partially adapted from the poem "The Bath," by Holly Hughes. The poem originally appeared in the Alaska Quarterly Review (Fall/Winter 2004) and then in Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose about Alzheimer's Disease, a book which Holly edited, published by Kent State University Press. We are grateful for the poem and for Holly's permission to use it. Beyond Forgetting is available at your local bookseller.
Special thanks to Frank Corrado, who played the husband in The Bath and the priest in So This Priest Walks Into A Bar, for his invaluable counsel, help, and friendship in the production of both of these movies.
