Including the Periphery: Personal Essays

By Roselee Blooston

Book Overview

Award-winning author Roselee Blooston has written a collection of loosely linked personal essays on change, perspective, and renewal. It is a companion piece to Blooston's first memoir, Dying in Dubai (Apprentice House Press 2016), and begins with her adolescence and early fifties--before her husband's death--and extends into later life on her own. The essays explore the inner and outer landscape of her move to New York's Hudson Valley, mining the author's evolving priorities and self-awareness, as time becomes more precious. The past informs the present, with youth and age in a dialogue that will resonate with readers of any generation.
