Autumn Song: Essays on Absence
(University of Nebraska Press | American Lives Series)
“This gorgeous collection of essays about home and belonging cast a spell on me, with its gentle yet sharp observations and evocative sense of place . . . Underlying these contemplative essays is an urgency to make sense of a world that often feels chaotic and frightening.”—Geeta Kothari, author of I Brake for Moose and Other Stories
“Patrice Gopo deftly plunges the reader into a life that weaves the personal with the political—and spotlights patterns of beauty amid the chaotic and often racist American fabric, both past and present. Gopo’s prose is vivid and gorgeous.”—Devi S. Laskar, author of The Atlas of Reds and Blues and Circa
