If I speak variously of myself, it is because I consider myself variously; all the contrarieties are there to be found in one corner or another, wrote Michel de Montaigne.

Selected from the country’s leading magazines and journals by acclaimed editor, writer, and critic Emily Donaldson, the twenty essays gathered here take stands and take chances; narrate, examine, and innovate; and find in the techniques of poetry and fiction their own unique expression of truth—one that collectively, as Donaldson writes, “colours the world, probes its contours, and isn’t afraid to fall outside them as it does.”
