Bonnie Costello is building a collection of essays – part family history, part local description, part travel writing, and part meditation – on the topics of place, mobility, and transformation. All of these pieces blend her perceptions with historical and literary accounts, creating a layered gaze. Costello is interested in how an idea of place arises, not from one person's synoptic view, but from attention to the intersections of diverse paths and intentions over time.
