In Defense: The New Territory Issue 02

Cover 02 72 dpi

Issue 02 takes us through a vulnerable urban community of Lincoln, Nebraska, into Midwestern corn fields where a prairie deer mouse lost its prairie, Michael Noll’s fictional suburbia where strangers are kept strange, and on the western plains with Lozen, who defended her tribe during the U.S. genocide against Native Americans. We even examine our own psyche, what makes us rage, and what can redeem us. Read “In Defense,” an introduction by publisher Tina Casagrand.

New Territory readers know that unsung stories are often the ones most worth defending. Order Issue 02 here.
