AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This work has seven meditative arcs that scope onto one another, presenting key dimensions of a life in recall; with an exotic and exact vocabulary for nuance, scientific, philosophical or local. From narrow walls of childhood 'games' to the topography of Newcastle...to the pristine surfaces of New England, place becomes the evocation of a life.' - Back cover
