Synopsis "Things They Carry: American Athenaeum (in English)"
The "Things They Carry," issue of American Athenaeum takes readers through a variety of stories and essays that deal with answering the question: what do we carry? This issue will take you from the gardens of a Vietnamese farmer, to a WWII concentration camp, to Wounded Knee in the Black Hills, to the handcrafted dolls made by a grandmother's hand, to a department store to buy a daughter her first bra, to the homeless in San Francisco, to a once-in-a-lifetime dance of the moon swallows, to India where a blind woman guides the roots of a tree over water to construct a bridge, and then on to Oxfordshire to visit the Rollright Witch and the latest installation designed by UK artist David Goslin. These are just a few places on this museum-like journey through American Athenaeum. By seeing what others carry, we inevitably learn what we are also capable of carrying. Won't you join us. Join us as we celebrate a diverse group of writers, past and present, to create this museum of words.
