Iowa City, IA
Leaving for Iowa City with an Arabic dictionary and air mattress in tow. The former is for the Sudanese refugee resettlement policy research, the later will welcome any visitors. I'll be there for a month-ish, save an extended 4th of July spent with the STAND crew living in the ghetto of D.C. My Iowa City summer acquaintances include a kid who I've practically known since before I was born, a novelist who asked me to house sit, a slew of writing teachers, and a crazy middle aged women who owns a stationary store whose memoirs I workshopped. And Amanda/Paige/Will, which = lots of fishnets and lots of burning things!
