Five Plots is as imaginative and hopeful and heartbreaking as childhood tends to be, especially in the Midwest. Especially through a reflective space. Trabold does something magical with the lay of the land and the cartographic queries of all our minds and bodies. Her lyric style is intentional and subtle and smart and approachable, revealing the same qualities as the local genius of a place. This piece keeps you moving in the same way the author does: here and all over and nowhere and everywhere. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Loved this! It was fun to learn more about Nebraska’s history, all while reading from such an innocent and relatable point of view. Very poetic, honest, and inspiring to make me wonder about my own family history.

This is easily one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. The writing picks you up effortlessly and gently pulls you into the landscape, desert, prairie, water, home. I’d recommend it to anyone who has ever searched for something and recognized the wildness within them.
