Because @CurbsidePress refuses to let Lost in Space die, Father’s Day is so soon and I’m referred to here as a “storyteller extraordinaire,” which, while merely a bonus, is a much appreciated one. instagram.com/p/BjIL6nZncV8/ @CurbsideBR @stevelafler

“In Iowa, in the tall grass, there’s a couple.” - Arthur Russell - “What It’s Like” as quoted in Tim Taranto’s ARS BOTANICA. Both of these works are full of love, heartbreak, humor, and the Midwest.
