Some of us are just very "placed" people -- I know I felt "unsorted" when I lived outside Montana. Maybe you need a New England room in your new home to help you feel the vibe!

Although I admit I did just recently have an interview I had to wing because for a variety of reasons, but that thankfully turned out great. But I do tend to prepare, because I feel strongly that others can tell when you don't really know what you're talking about. Also, if you are a listener willing to tune in -- or an author or anyone willing to let me interview you -- I should give you nothing but my best. As a journalist, I've also learned that the best stories come from unexpected places that you generally have to dig for a bit. So if I dig before I start talking/interviewing, I have better odds at finding some gems!Cindy Wolfe Boyntonhttp://www.cindywolfeboynton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-16341531469159511772012-01-11T12:52:52.968-05:002012-01-11T12:52:52.968-05:00Hallie, I am so very happy to have discovered Jung...Hallie, I am so very happy to have discovered Jungle Red Writers, because it just keeps coming with wonderful interviews like this.<br /><br />Cindy, I miss my home back in New England so, so much, yet hadn't fully realized why. Then I read your comment here about Alison Hawthorne Deming's observation of New England's lived history that includes thinking as a value.<br /><br />I was born in Salem and recall living and playing on Becket Street around the corner from the House of the Seven Gables and other literary streets in Salem and Marblehead. I spent many days sitting on the step outside the Olde Pepper Candy shop across from the old house and think about the characters in the stories as if they were still there, as if they lived. Generations of a part of my family had lived in that very neighborhood.<br /><br />It never leaves me. North Shore thoughts are always playing around in my head. I have never adjusted well to life away from Massachusetts, and I am giving up the thought of ever being able to do that. I love other places certainly, but I've had little success in living away. I have to reconcile myself to being a New Englander in absentia and resolve now to do so. I wonder how well I might be able to do that.<br /><br />My "new" home is lovely but it isn't my home. Nothing in its structure reflects my sense of space and relationships. It is a good place. But it isn't me, and I am unsorted. So. I resolve to unbury those things I have for so long covered up. The never-realized hope of fitting in anywhere but New England must be that person here, as here is where I am for awhile.<br /><br />Looking forward to listening to your show. I anticipate a few days of archival listening.

You mentioned Nathaniel Philbrick -- I just last night finished one of his early books, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, the story that inspired Melville to write Moby-Dick.
