What Falls Away is Always by Katharine Haake

What Falls Away is Always by Katharine Haake

In 2019, writers from Los Angeles's Glass Table Collective, all over 60, gathered at AWP, Portland, to take up the idea of late-stage writing. What is it like to grow old as a writer, to face both the page and one's final years in the same breath? For even if we've reached the stage in life where we have many more years behind us than ahead, it still occurs to most of us as somehow surprising: we can die, we will die, we do die. Then the pandemic came. By turns searing, poignant, and downright funny, What Falls Away Is Always brings together more than thirty writers of both prose and poetry to reflect on the experiences of aging and writing they share, along with the possibly more daunting question-what next?

Haake, Katharine: - Katharine Haake's books include the dystopian eco-fable, THE TIME OF QUARANTINE (What Books Press, 2018); the hybrid California prose lyric, That Water, Those Rocks; and three collections of stories. Her writing has long appeared in such magazines as One Story, The Iowa Review, and Witness, and been recognized as distinguished by Best American Stories and Best American Essays, among others. A collaborative text/image work she did with artist Lisa Bloomfield is included in Bloomfield's portfolio in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Haake is a recipient of an Individual Artist's Grant from LA's Cultural Affairs Department and teaches at California State University, Northridge.
