"the pine needle"

"the pine needle" is produced by Sarah Holtz. It is an excerpt from "transience // permanence: a collection of real and imagined keepsakes." This audio excerpt comes from a story about a box of objects. The story reflects upon a growing personal belief in the fluidity of love, gender, and memory through the lens of seven seemingly worthless keepsakes. More specifically, it traces Sarah’s ongoing connection to her first love, Z. The full written piece will be published in Juked Magazine in Summer 2020. Sarah Holtz is an independent radio producer based in New Orleans. Her stories have aired on New Orleans Public Radio, Houston Public Media, and PRX Remix, among other places.
