I was very happy to learn that my essay “Boiled Boot,” which appeared in the spring 2022 issue of The Fiddlehead, is listed as a notable essay in Best American Essays 2023, edited by Vivian Gornick and Robert Atwan. Thanks to Liz Prato for letting me know and many thanks to Rowan McCandless and The Fiddlehead for the publication and nomination! This essay is part of an in-progress collection on food and cultural memory. Stay tuned for a new essay coming out in Orion in a few weeks!
