Issue 3

It happens every four years. The national media—which is increasingly urban and coastal—descends on the middle of the country in a pitched, last-minute bid to understand the mind of the rural voter. The contributors to this issue, from small towns or raised there, write with striking intimacy and insight about the challenges faced by rural Americans and how the depopulation and desolation of small towns has affected the national soul. Contributors include Sterlin Harjo, Bill McKibben, Monica Potts, Jeff Sharlet, Dean Bakopoulos, C. J. Janovy, and Alyssa Schukar.
