Boxed In

Bearded beggar seed stand in a clump in a wet area behind an industrial building

Tickseed sunflowers, also called bearded beggar ticks, burst from the side of a drainage ditch in Springdale, Arkansas, in September 2016. This paved, desolate place would seem a poor spot for any living thing, and the background building and its reflection visually trap the subject in an artificial box. But even here the line between death and life is thin and easily cracked.

“My hope for literature and other art in the region is that it continues to reflect we who live here in all of our colors and thoughts and backgrounds.”

I’m a photographer and writer living in northwest Arkansas with my husband and two dogs. I’ve lived within the mid-U.S. for all of my life, most especially Missouri, Nebraska and now Arkansas. There are a lot of elected leaders and ordinary people in these states that would prefer that I not live here, and at points it has been tempting to leave. But it’s my home as much as it is any of theirs. My hope for literature and other art in the region is that it continues to reflect we who live here in all of our colors and thoughts and backgrounds. Doing this can change minds. But even if it doesn’t, it lets us know we aren’t alone. 

Note from the editor: Dan was our longtime copy editor, and his photography appeared in The New Territory as early as Issue 02. He also donated his work for these Northwest Arkansas Postcards:

“There’s a sweet spot every evening when the output of light from both the environment and artificially sync-up perfectly, and was grateful to find a spot fluttering with energy.”
