About
Hello, and welcome to A Walker in the Suburbs and the website of Anne Cassidy. Whether you’ve made your way here from my old site or are visiting for the first time, I’m glad you’ve found this corner of the web.
I’m a writer of articles and books, but this is where I muse on light pouring in the window or the last leaf on the sassafras tree. This is where I write about sense of place and how to find it in the suburbs — usually by walking through them whenever possible. This is also where I try to capture the moments as they pass. Here you can catch your breath and reflect.
I hope you visit often!
Here’s a brief bio written in the ever-so-professional third person:
