Description
“Suppose someone took a hand and created the field in which you find yourself. A vast palm…” — Jordan Durham, “When Explained by Science”
Issue 04 was our first issue to ever sell out. For good reason!
Let’s start with the cover photo. “LOVE” spelled in sparklers. Beautiful. It’s a self portrait by Larry Strong, a Marshfield, Missouri, photographer who happened to be our literature editor’s dad.
Features
+ Too Sick To Go Home, Too Poor to Get Better: Micronesian migrants struggle to access health care in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
+ Building A Better Swallow: The cockroach and cliff swallow will inherit the earth.
+ Ears to the Ground: Ranchers and government agents. Prairie dogs and the ferrets that eat them. An unlikely team of rivals is making stewardship work on the plains of eastern Colorado.
+ The Shifting Complexion of McDonald Country: Hope and change in southwest Missouri.
+ Gone with the WInd: Wind energy is great for the environment. Unless you’re a lesser prairie-chicken.
The literature section’s art and writing is surreal, a departure from our norm, and little did we know Katie Young Foster would someday help steer the entire magazine as our second creative director.
Worth checking out. Especially for three dollars. First to sell out, first to go digital. (There’s some poetry in that.) As always, all funds go straight back to paying writers and reaching more readers. Thanks for supporting The New Territory community!
