She lays bare her existential journey as a mixed-format essay and journal written on the road, made even more personal through her contemplative photos, quietly coursing with an underlying conflict. Flitting between cities and blinking back and forth through time, \u003ci\u003eElsewhere\u003c\/i\u003e pulsates with a nebulous sense of home and the deep wish to belong. In this innovative personal essay of words and photos, raw and insightful of a time and a generation, Matthews traces the widening recognition that the one thing a wanderer takes with her everywhere is herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatthews, Katherine Oktober:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eKatherine Oktober Matthews\u003c\/b\u003e is an author and artist originally from Houston, TX.
