Sue Goyette

About the Author

Sue Goyette's outskirts is a tour de force, a powerful diptych juxtaposing our rootedness in family love with a report from the precipice of planetary disintegration. Its originality lies in Goyette's refusal of despair, her conviction that the connections among people, their conversation, show more curiosity, empathy and awe, can help us see a way forward. Her aim is to find energy in human love, a way to walk the darkness rather than hide from it. This book will name you and frighten you, make you laugh and arm you for what is to come. show less
