Product Description
by William Sulit (Illustrator), Beth Kephart (Author)
In the hands of writer Beth Kephart, the essay is endlessly elastic-a braid, a collage, a villanelle, an instruction manual, a plea, a letter, musical notes, a story simple told, a flash. In pieces that range from the bright visitations of childhood fireflies to the howls of a dog hotel, from the songs of Siena to a Salvadoran mother-in-law, from the harvest of heat to the history of color, from beloved writers to the act of reading slow, Kephart repeatedly reinvents the form in search of the truest telling. Original illustrations by William Sulit accompany the text, launching each of the six sections with unforgettable characters.
You Are Not Vanished Here is a master class in heart and form.
