Where the Sky Bends

A Travel Memoir — Three deserts, one long coastline, and a notebook full of quiet.

$27.99$34.99

Burned out and loud inside, I walked into empty country to find some quiet — three deserts and one long coastline, alone with a notebook. What I found instead was people: a well-digger who reads poetry, a truck-stop choir, a girl who maps stars for sailors.

Excerpt

On the fourth morning the desert stopped feeling empty and started feeling attended — as if the dunes had been keeping my place while I slept. I wrote that down, underlined it twice, and finally understood I had come all this way to be lonely in good company.
