Juxtaposed against the decisive print typically found in academic prose, each metaphoric cursive in these correspondences reveal the vitalities and vulnerabilities of identity and vocation, of belonging and estrangement, of timid wonderment and brazen path-blazing, of grateful remembrances and outrageous future-projections, as each letter-writer picks up her pen, closes her eyes, and dreams of peaceable worlds in which they can flourish.
