Check out my new essay in A Long House.
“Under its shade, he can take momentary shelter, but it cannot house him like it would house a bird, a squirrel, or a colony of ants. It cannot be a place for him to inhabit.”
—Zenas Ubere, “A Placeholder for the Unhomed”
From Issue 3: Homelessness.

A Long House third issue “Homelessness” is now out in the world! And we are pleased to offer it to you.
“The works [in this issue],” says the editorial, “challenge the notion that homelessness is an individual failure rather than a systemic one.”
