Independently published (Berthoff Books), 2024. 1st Edition . Soft cover. New. 241 pages. Memoir by Prof. Ann E. Berthoff (1924-2022), who taught writing at U. Mass-Boston. "This is a memoir of places lived in and loved, stayed at length in, visited briefly, places dreamed about. . . The places here remembered have, mostly, disappeared. . . In these sketches and stories I have tried to suggest how things were, not only for me but for characters in their landscapes, those for whom these places were home." There are chapters on "homeplaces" in 1930s Alabama and Iowa, postwar Manhattan, other cities, towns, and farms. Part II, "Poetics of Travel," ranges from bicycling in postwar Europe to visits during half a century to Sicily, Ireland, Yugoslavia, and the Isle of Canna in the Hebrides. There is a glossary of persons and places mentioned but not identified in the text. Trade paperback, clean and unmarked.
