520 |a First you must realize you're homesick for all the lives you're not living. Then, you must commit to the road and the rising loneliness. To the sincere thrill of coming apart. So begins Joy Sullivan's Instructions for Traveling West, a lush debut collection that examines what happens when we leave home and leap into the deep unknown.
