I don’t anticipate doing much until I have actually retir

Note: This post is a slightly revised version of an essay written for the course,    Place in Modern Poetry and Prose: Locality, Environment, Community and Exile,  run by Oxford Department for Continuing Education and taught by Giles Goodland.  A useful video of Sheri Benning talking about her book can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBtJpcKoTLE  and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5yZPj8U4K4
