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!

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."
