Unraveling Identity and Home: Kathryn Nuernberger’s ‘Held’ Challenges What It Means to Belong

Nuernberger reflects on being stalked by a student, and how the system failed them both, the death of a child, and our place in community with each other and all the microsystems that make up the planet on which we live.
