About the Book
As a child, I was fascinated by photographs on the tombstones at Mountain View Baptist Church Cemetery in Deep Gap, North Carolina. My paternal grandparents were buried there, and my family would occasionally make the trek to the small rural cemetery to pay respects. There was a large obelisk that stood out amongst the modest tombstones. This monument bore the name Sharon and told the story of her untimely demise in a car crash. She had been in her early twenties. Each side of the obelisk was adorned with a different photograph of Sharon. She was forever radiant. I think it was the first time that I realized it wasn’t just the old that died.

At age eighteen, Corn high-tailed it to Boston, Massachusetts, where she picked up a little bit of Yankee sass and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in conjunction with Tufts University. After enduring a few too many New England winters, Corn returned to her North Carolina home with her tail tucked. It was this return that fueled her investigation into what it means to be from the South. During this time, Corn studied at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina—also known as Shangri-La. Doors opened for Corn during this time, and she decided to walk through one, which led her to the Southwest in pursuit of a Master of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico.
