Welcome to the Hinterland
The hinterland is that space in between points of interest, which doesn’t appear in any guidebook. In that space are vast expanses of public land, roadside hedges, strip malls, and parking lots cracked by weeds. I’ve been exploring it since the fall of 2020, first on a vintage motorcycle (see here for my writings about that) and now on foot and public transit. I think I have some business there, but I’m not sure what it is yet. This newsletter is an outlet for whatever bubbles up in my head and shows an urge to come out. It might take the form of essays, travel writing, maybe even poetry sometimes. I write mainly to please myself, but if you happen to like it too, that’s great.
