Summary: Recently, I discovered how many times I could get lost in one hour: three. I was headed deep into New Jersey, where I’d give readings and meet with students at a boarding school. Exiting the hotel on the southern tip of Manhattan, I pushed through the air, sloppy and wet as a kitchen sponge, and walked the route I’d practiced the day before.
