    About this ebook

    Written as a companion piece to a gallery show of embroidered imagery and writing by author Jackie Mantey, "Gone, Country" weaves together essays, stories, prose, and art about life lived straddling the middle of today's rural/ urban divide. The book is broken into four themes—Home, Faith, Hope, and Love—all representative of words we often use (or hang on our walls) but less often consider as experiences weighty with nuance and varied by choice. With a mix of humor, grief, and honesty, "Gone, Country" explores creative nonfiction's memoir potential while reflecting one American country-girl-cum-city-woman's search for a place to land and effort to bridge an identity inspired by seemingly opposed forces.

      If Reality TV is Superficial, Why Does It Make Me Feel So Much?

      May 1, 2018

      In The New Yorker, Kelefa Sanneh once wrote that reality TV is the television of television. I think that’s a nice way to put it—the one thing that remains universally low in a medium that, for the first half century of its existence was the face of
