Southern born + bred Master of Inglés writing frank nonfiction + rhymes that don’t rhyme: raza, self-identification mores, el amor, segregación moderna. What used to be a vegan foodie mesh-of-a-mess collect-all, is now a hodge podge of nonsensical everything: all things artsy fartsy and fashion. I aim to save the world and look/feel cute doing it. Who’s to say I can’t have it all? Also, I think + dream + love in Spanglish. Crocheting, too. || www.latasharjones.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I was the 7th voter at my polling place this morning. That means I was there before 7am.
I am so unbelievably appalled by my home state. A (discriminatory) law already existed. This then, to me, was just salt in the ever-there wound.

I saw this hash tag on a friend’s Facebook wall. Seems a good reason to show my face (or other random things that tickle my fancy). Every day. I’m getting a late start. Better late, they say.
hola.
sunday morning. nestled on a pallet on the floor. eating pizza form last night. tabasco sauce. the dogs staring me down, begging to be noticed, their heads rubbed. watching paris je t’aime. cleaning on the horizon. unlikely to happen. crocheting and reading might.
For the second installment of the Last Throes Reading Series, we’d like to present Winston Salem writer Steve Mitchell! Mitchell’s new short story collection “The Naming of the Ghosts” is scheduled for release later this month from Press 53. His work has been published in the Southeast Review, Contrary, Glossolalia, and The North Carolina Literary Review, among others, and has been nominated three times for the Pushcart Prize. His short story, “Above the Rooftop,” was named a storySouth Million Writers Award Notable Story of 2010, and he is currently completing a novel, Body of Trust. You can visit his website at http://www.thisisstevemitchell.com/.
Creative non-fiction writer LaTasha Jones of Fayetteville, NC will be joining Steve. Her as yet unpublished manuscript examines the racial line drawn by the railroad tracks that cut through Greenville, NC. Her unique perspective provides an unflinching look and provides a useful and honest dialogue about race here in North Carolina.
As always, the event is free and will start at around 7 PM. Come out and show your support for NC literary culture!
