Description

BORDERNOTES

Meeka Walsh’s poetic consideration of Peter Handke’s biography of his mother, A Sorrow Beyond Dreams. “He’s working against expediency, against the natural inclination for ease, retreat and protection, and gathering the pieces out of which to make a biography sufficient to remember. Putting in place the person he can remember, and wary of the effects of his making.”

BORDERCOLUMN

Robert Enright muses about the powerful, timely documentary, Spring and Arnaud, directed by Marcia Connolly and Katherine Knight. “Spring and Arnaud demonstrates that the past can be made a living thing…all histories recognize that what is lost can be given new life in the present.”

BORDERVIEWS

Paul Cherwick, Claire Blanchet and Heather O’Neill, Patrick Mahon, and Laura Marotta.
