Unfolding over the course of a single day, Passage is an account of the author's thirtieth birthday aboard a sailboat as it makes its way from Nantucket Harbor to Menemsha Harbor. This long-form lyric essay charts the many passages of that day: civil dawn to astronomical dusk, one harbor to another, one decade of life to the next, present circumstance to distant memory, external landscape to internal obsession. It tells, in the end, the story of the self as a threshold through which the mind must pass on its journey to understand itself.
