The letters date back from to when I was 13 or so, which is probably around the time I developed some serious writing habits. Can you even do that anymore? Defense, retreat, and home. You ar...

This line is a part of our family seder. It’s worth it to remember, I think–none of us are whole alone; we all have holes. We’re all cracked.

Dear city, I want to live in you…. Letters from Everywhere →. May 2, 2015 · 9:03 pm. Defense, retreat, and home. My overwhelming feeling over the past few months has been one of infantilization.

Friends met up with me after the defense, and as we were walking to get a slice of pizza, who should call but the SNAP benefits office, for a phone screening.
