Essays by Judith Kitchen
September 1, 2001 • 5 x 7.5 • 220 pages • 978-1-56689-121-9
An engaging blend of personal essay and public speculation about our attachments to people and landscape.
Judith Kitchen’s essays are lyrical and affecting meditations on place—those places to which we go back and the bittersweet ones to which we can never return. A Pushcart-prize winning writer and editor, Kitchen writes crystalline prose about the human connection to both built and natural environments. Blended with intelligent speculation on national history and literary legacy, these exquisite pieces contain tender and lucidly detailed homage’s to Fred Astaire’s hands, Kitchen’s aging father, the color blue, and familiar and dreamed-about places.
