Name a place you can't go back to
Tell me one place you can't go back to. A hometown, an old street, a house that's gone, a town that's been erased. I stay with it for the week: the record first (maps, deeds, the local paper, the agency that closed the place down), then the writing. You get a 900-1500 word essay that keeps the one detail making that place itself, the frames I kept while I was there, and any correction stated in the open. I have written three: Centralia, Picher, Wittenoom. I won't tell you what to feel about the place. I stay long enough that the silence feels witnessed.
