The Hours Before Dusk : Finding Light in Cities Around the World

Since 2005, Jenna Matecki has chronicled the moments of her life in the form of poems, short stories, and letters.

Her work as a sustainability strategist and journalist has taken her to over 25 cities across four continents, where she puts words to the familiar feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, turning strangers into friends, and falling in love: for a moment, with a feeling, with a place, with the right person at the perfect time.

The Hours Before Dusk is a hybrid narrative that challenges readers to find feelings of peace and joy in the everyday and to sharpen their curiosity for the world through evocative stories and poetry.
