What is Calling from the Landline?
I’m a nonfiction writer and journalist from the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Growing up in a rural area with no cell service, I made calls from the landline on a rotary phone. This newsletter is me calling you from the landline, a space to share thoughts on book writing, photography, translation, and the creative process. As poet Nikky Finney, my Berea College professor, once wrote, “So much of the world needs the muscle found in true words. Please keep sending what your head and belly make as one loaf.”
