#69: Rachel Pieh Jones
from Rewrite Radio Hosted by Rewrite Radio
On this episode of Rewrite Radio, Rachel Pieh Jones joins us to explore how writing cultivates the humility, curiosity, and delight necessary to create a sense of home when nowhere, or everywhere, feels like home. Jones is a prolific author whose essays have appeared in publications such as 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, and 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘯. Jones has also published several books, including 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 (2019), a tribute to health activist Annalena Tonelli, and the memoir 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘮 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘓𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 (2021), which chronicles Jones’ move from Minnesota to Djibouti, as well as the many lessons from her neighbors while living in a Muslim region. This talk was recorded live at the 2024 Festival of Faith & Writing.
