THE LONG RETURN
The Long Return is a collection of essays, field notes, and reflections written from Norway and beyond.
More than a century and a half after my great-great-grandfather left Norway for America, I now find myself tracing the journey in reverse, building a life in the country he once left behind.
In 2026, several timelines meet. It has been ten years since my first visit to Norway, five years since I left full-time life in the United States, and nearly two years since I applied for residency in Norway.
Part field journal and part personal practice, this site explores place, belonging, wonder, and the long process of finding one's way home.
I write about Norway and the U.S. Midwest, migration and family history, music, nature, grief, and the stories that connect us across distance and time.
