California -- Latin America -- Asia -- Europe -- Home -- Epilogue.
The Long Arc of the Universe ⿿ Travels Beyond the Pale completes a trilogy. Kathleen Stocking⿿s first book of essays, Letters From the Leelanau, is about her village and her second, Lake Country,is about her state. The Long Arc of the Universe -Travels Beyond the Pale explores other countries and cultures. In 1996, after receiving many writing awards, including a three-year writer-in-residence appointment in her village of Lake Leelanau through the Michigan Council for the Arts, Stocking was awarded a fellowship to the Blue Mountain Center for Artists and Writers. This in turn led to an appointment by the William James Foundation to work in the prisons of California, and led from there to several third world countries, and other countries, usually teaching, sometimes just traveling and living with people. The Long Arc of the Universe - Travels beyond the Pale is Stocking's attempt to understand the larger world in relationship to Michigan's remote and beautiful Leelanau Peninsula.
