I'm emptying boxes from one, two, three moves ago, and finding essays over twenty years old. I sort through the pages--nothing is consistent--everything from ruled notebook paper to bound journals; their titles are young and trite and stuffed with cliches'; all the voices wild with raw hope. One day, I know someone has to sort through all of this. As I create 'shred' and 'file' stacks in the center of my dining room floor, I wonder what would be the advantage to keep them, even with the possibly of never returning to them again?
