Abstract

Storied Things: A Memoir in Possessions is a personal essay collection comprised of stories behind objects of importance to the author. The subjects of the essays range in scope from family heirlooms and artifacts to those objects intended for consumption. The objects explored reflect the author's identity, become the touch points for present and past, indicate connection and disconnect, and serve as catalysts for the author's imagination.
