Sarah Alvarez · Your Housing Stories, in Six Words
August 23rd, 2011
Changing Gears is kicking off a new feature. Inspired by Smith Magazine, and possibly Ernest Hemingway, we’re asking people to share stories of what the economic transformation of the industrial Midwest means to them. But there’s a catch. We want these stories in six words.
Listen to the result of our request for stories about the housing crisis. Take Mary Beth Matthew’s submission for example, “2007 bought ex’s half, 2011 underwater.” Set to music, it’s creative, poignant, and even funny.
You can also contribute to our current six word story-your “Plan B.”
Six-word poets: Marcus Bales, Amanda Thomas, Becky McRae, Matt Lechel, Christopher Lada, Manuel Magana, and LaGaspa McDougal.
Music by Steve Osburn, produced by Cade Sperling.
