Unraveling Solitude: Judy Kronenfeld’s Mesmerizing Journey Through Apartness
By the end of the memoir, Kronenfeld reiterates the importance of landscape, gifting us snapshots of both US coasts, several countries, and time-stamped memories connecting moments from throughout the collection. At each juncture, she’s posted her all-important road markers, poems that complement versus summarize the prose, leading us to both question and embrace identity in the circuitous route between “apartness,” choice, acceptance, and community. A smart, honest, and perceptively written collection, Apartness is a hybrid memoir that questions and sometimes finds—in its various forms and definitions—this place called “home.”
