Corbyn Hanson HightowerI'm 41. I've lived in a lot of places. I like to write poetic essays about my life as a creative and free-spirited mom living a post-Recession life of new simplicity and colorful poverty. I also write sort of sad and sorry autobiographical pieces. I would like to do more freelance work, and publish a book-length memoir.

Just read your blog about living right on the wrong side of town…excellent! It reminded me of when my boyfriend (now my husband for the last 36 years) and I first started out…poor, living in rentals we painted and improved, in dicey neighborhoods….but happy and connected to our environment, our fellow humans, and the seasons in a way we do not in our comfortable, middle class suburban home. I think their are fewer “walls” between folks when we are not quite as comfortable and complacent….when we need each other….
Again, excellent article, Corbyn!
