KELLE GROOM answers the question of How to Live: A Memoir-in-Essays by traveling from the East Coast to the West, to places she’s never been, then back to her childhood home in New England’s Cape Cod. In SOPHIE KLAHR’s There Is Only One Ghost in the World follows the fragmented meditations of a multilayered voice, an intimate witness to our times that delicately and bluntly reveals the best and the worst in all of us. And JULIE MARIE WADE’s Otherwise: Essays presents a series of intimate, braided essays written throughout her 30s that trace her own unwinding and becoming through probing lyricism.
