from a review of Colm Toibin's new novel, Brooklyn, in The New Yorker, 1 June 2009:
"Toibin leaves us with a renewed understanding that to emigrate is to become a foreigner in two places at once."

This is the staging area for a trip down the Mississippi River from the headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, starting in August 2009. At the moment, we're envisioning a journey made by canoe, but that may change as plans take shape. A project that is developing out of this journey is called (for the moment) Archives of Exile: River Voices, and that project is the focus of the conversation that's happening on this blog. We warmly invite you to read and comment!
This project is partially funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK).
