ROADS, ROOTS AND THE PEOPLE BESIDE US

Take your time. There is room on the road.

Follow a river, remember a neighbour, or answer a refrain in another language. Twenty exact public editions open five paths through roots, old ties, company, questions about the future and voices across distance. Related tellings remain connected, and one piece is spoken narration. There is room for more than one mood.
