Mitchell Hagerstrom

    I luoghi in cui questo autore ha vissuto hanno plasmato la sua narrativa, dalle piccole città del Texas ai quartieri di Tokyo, passando per le spiagge delle Hawaii e le terre selvagge della California. La scrittura è diventata un'abitudine quotidiana fin dalla giovane età, affinata tramite lettere e studi universitari di scrittura creativa. Da lettore appassionato, ha compreso negli anni '90 che ciò che desiderava leggere erano le storie che lui stesso stava scrivendo. La sua opera nasce da una profonda connessione con le esperienze geografiche vissute e dal desiderio di dare vita a narrazioni uniche.

      The pieces in this collection were selected from the author’s work during the 1970s through the 1990s. They are arranged by location, reflecting her moves from Southern California, to Missouri, minus some years in Micronesia during the 80s, to San Francisco, to Louisiana, and a jaunt into Mexico. A few of the earliest earliest pieces began life as classroom assignments, and what she produced was enough to satisfy her that she could do what she always wanted to do: write. Each piece, whether prose or poem, was built on the manipulation of memories, the re-imagining of tales she'd been told, of close observation of her own life and the lives of others. Whether in the construction of a poem or to advance a story’s narrative, the author allowed her characters to borrow the very beds she’s slept in, to steal food off her tables and words out of mouths.
