The Tension of Home


Mark Delap discusses the tensions that even the shortest trip from home can cause in the traveler in his Magma article, and the tension arises in me as I prepare for my next 10 months of life on another continent. I apologize to everyone for the use of various font types in the previous post on Elizabeth Bishop's poem. I was having trouble formatting the text and finally gave up on perfection.

I am fermenting as I combine the ingredients of a traveller who is on her way to a new continent in the capped bottle of my body and mind: May the lid not blow off.

Wish me luck fellow travelers.
