He was born in a small town in western Kansas and grew up near Denver, Colorado.[1] Boelte's book The Beautiful Unseen: Variations on Fog and Forgetting is about his brother's suicide, when they were both teenagers, as well as San Francisco fog.[2] The book received positive reviews in The San Francisco Chronicle ("one of the most haunting books ever written about the fragility of memory"),[2] The Los Angeles Review of Books ("Boelte’s sure-footed prose makes The Beautiful Unseen a lovely journey"),[3] and Booklist ("Boelte conveys the deep, abiding sense of loss such tragedies inflict, yet softly, tenderly communicates the conflicting sensations of confronting memories, both lost and found").[4] Its major themes include the impermanence of memory and the importance of nature, including wilderness, in our lives.[5] Boelte's essays have been published in Zyzzyva,[6] High Country News,[7] and Full Stop.[8] He was a finalist for the Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction in 2013.[9] His essay "Reluctant Citizens" was included in "The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2016" and was cited as a Notable Essay in "The Best American Essays 2016".
