Wild Rough Country / Right to Pretty Heroines / Birds
By Holly Myers

A two-lane highway channels into a four-lane no man's land toward Main Street. Wide, empty medians. A confusion of frontage roads. At the Family Dollar, a young woman stands alone in line with a bag of Cheetos and a child's t-shirt on a hanger that reads "My Day Begins At Noon" in pink glitter letters.

A tax service, a truck repair, auto parts, tacos, a drivetrain specialist, a county health office, a liquor store. A church in a warehouse with a swing set outside.
