What Happens in Nebraska

Cat Dixon

Stephen F. Austin State University Press, Nov 17, 2022 - Poetry - 88 pages

What happens in Nebraska? Follow Cat Dixon's journey across the state as she explores misconnections, unrequited love, and longing. Dixon believes what happens in Nebraska doesn't stay in Nebraska; instead, her poems wade into the Missouri River and then launch readers into the clouds above, the ancient stars light years away, and eventually they plummet to the heartland's cornfields where the distance between people is simultaneously vast and fleeting.
