North American Review
"On Missionary"
I wrote a little ditty for the North American Review blog, mostly about my life in South Dakota, but also about writing, gender, and displacement. Check it out! Issue 299.2 kicks ass, with writing by Thomas Fox Averill, Barbara Haas, Ivan Hobson, Michelle Lin, and many more.
"It would be the most boring version of the Kama Sutra, abridged for beginners. Overseas evangelists would blush as they walk past it in the aisles of Barnes and Noble. (I kid, I joke.) I wrote “Missionary” in South Dakota in 2011, during what I would later refer to as my “Kerry Fellowship,” on a ranch adjacent to a cattleman named Ted Angel who’d once held his neighbors at gunpoint. I was a summer intern at a wild horse sanctuary, and was initially given lodging on the shores of the Cheyenne River, in one of those silver-tin, hoho-shaped, fifth wheel camping trailers that smelled like cat piss and had no running water. “No toilet? No problem,” I said, understanding very quickly that this was not at all true."
