By ELLYN GAYDOSI live on a wooded road posted with NO TRESPASSING PROPERTY OF GEORGE FUDGE signs. In addition to being a large landowner, George Fudge rents out dumpsters, and is rumored to be an ex-con and confirmed to be a minister. When the season is right, he plows snow. He’s plowed my driveway more than once for free. I am surrounded by good intentions. On the wall of the post office there is a note that says, I am an honest girl, written by a customer who took a card costing $2.99 and left $3.

EllynJanuary 28, 2023I don’t know that I had a singular text as a guiding light, but in the beginning, I thought of this quote from James Agee’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men as a kind of epigraph:. . . the farm is also a water spider whose feet print but do not break the gliding water membrane: it is thus delicately and briefly that, in its fields and structures, it sustains its entity upon the blind breadth and steady heave of nature.
