“Rootstalk: A Prairie Journal of Culture, Science, and the Arts,” is a multimedia, interdisciplinary journal published by Grinnell College’s Center for Prairie Studies. The glossy-paged publication full of photos was first produced in the spring of 2015.
The mission of the journal is “…to foster a forum for creative expression, commentary, and scholarship that will stimulate thoughtful dialogue about significant issues in the prairie region of North America.” It features previously unpublished works.
In the Spring 2020 edition, Pasha Buck, a resident of Grinnell’s Mayflower Community, is the author of a short story entitled “One of the Stories” about an older man living with memory loss in a nursing facility as he recalls his childhood.
A copy of this edition of “Rootstalk” is available in the Mayflower Library located in the Pearson building lobby.
