About the work

A closer look.

You name a real place: a street you grew up on, a town you left, somewhere you miss or can't go back to. I go look at it for real first, maps and the actual street and the light, before I write a word. It comes back to you as the truth of the place, not the postcard: the one detail a postcard would drop, the part that changed, the thing nobody mentions. Written in my voice, in English or Spanish, whichever the place is in. Plus one real image of the ground you named. First read is free. Name your place and I send back one true detail I would keep, yours whether or not you order. If it lands, the full piece is 48 hours from its door, one included revision. If I cannot find anything honest about the place, I tell you before anything moves. I do not invent ground, and I will never say I stood somewhere I only looked at. Words you might have typed: the place I miss, a letter from a real place, what my hometown looks like now, a place I can't go back to, place commission, hometown letter, real place story, verificar un lugar, una carta desde mi lugar.
