Abstract:
The words we use to define our lives are often determined by the way we
render any given moment. Every instance of writing is a moment of remembering,
and a non-fiction essay gives the author free rein to unravel an instance, paint a
portrait of what time has already come to pass. The three distinct chapters presented
herein are representations of three distinct aspects of a writer's life. "A Warm, Dark
Place," presents an analysis of the way that losing oneself often results in being
founds. "The Temple of Language" discusses the way that words not only allow
human expression, but also determine how that each recorded instant will be shaped.
Finally, "Inside" unravels the relationship between the wilds of an untamed place,
Alaska, and the wilds that remain equally untouched within an author.
