A History of Nomadism
In this essay, I write about my globe-trotting, peripatetic childhood in seventeen brief sections—a structure reflecting the number of times I moved growing up. I explore the historical, philosophical, and experiential aspects of nomadism—from Bedouin traditions to Bruce Chatwin’s travelogues—and how they connect to my conflicting desires for home and mobility.
“A History of Nomadism” appears in Colorado Review (Spring 2018) and is published in its entirety on the journal’s website:
