“Note however, that reentry by travel and also exile…nearly always takes place in a motion from a northern place to a southern place.”
“Note however, that reentry by travel and also exile…nearly always takes place in a motion from a northern place to a southern place.”
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

So the drive to New Orleans was restorative, then?
Indeed, perhaps because I discovered the exact place where the North becomes the South – or at least the Midwest becomes the South. It’s a place/no place in Missouri on the I-55 – where the upland’s gentle roll exhausts itself into a certain and undeniable flatness – while simultaneously the corn rows surrender to the tow-headed cotton fields.
It was a curious mix of epiphany and sorrow which accompanied the moment.
I can’t explain why.
