Product Description
Skein: The Heartbreaks and Triumphs of a Long Distance Knitter
Knitting is not just a metaphor in Christen Mattix’s Skein—she is literally knitting on a public bench nearly every day for three years—though it quickly becomes the way she binds herself to her community in Bellingham and becomes a part of its colorful fabric. Unlike most pilgrimages, in which the sojourner travels to a distant sacred center, Skein beautifully documents Mattix’s journey to the heart of where she already exists. Taking shape at the lively intersection of spiritual practice, performance art, ethnographic study and experimental notebook journalism, this book is a refreshing affirmation of the possibilities of forming human relations in an era when these encounters feel increasingly endangered. The prose poetry of Skein is an unalloyed gift: opening it, we are invited to partake of the quotidian joys, perennial doubts, questions and longings of a singular wayfarer who has redoubled her commitment to herself, to her neighbors, to her strangers—and to us. ~Zack Finch, Author of Chiasmus and Ten Ounces
