Abstract
What is the discourse of region? How, in the complexity of our experience of the Great Plains, do we turn that experience, that place, that posture, into words?
The answers are many. And yet they cohere into something we call community. Discourse, in a way, is what enables us to tell each other that we recognize, that we care.
On the Great Plains, we garden. We garden against the odds. I recognized this one afternoon in Nebraska, standing in Frances W. Kaye's garden. We were watching a crow.
