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.
