You Can Take the Girl Out of the Dirt

Hi. Today we welcome new columnist, Amy Barnes. I’m lucky to have her for a while. You’ll be hearing from Amy monthly. Regular readers will have noticed an uptick in new work published here, outside the confines of the print issues. It’s a threat to my posture of extreme less-is-more-ness, but I’m finding a pace to keep things tight.

Little Engines is free, in print and here on the ‘stack, but a paid subscription helps keep me going and puts money in the hands of writers & artists. If a recurrent credit card ding isn’t your thing, you can hit the tip jar.

🖤 Adam
