These Fifty States
In early 2012 I met with some of the most brilliant writers at Yale as they set out to create a new magazine of writing about America and place. The ambition was to have pieces written about all fifty states. Within an hour I had a prototype running of a US map that highlighted which states had articles about them. This idea stuck.
The full WordPress site was built and it has been used now for over seven years. In September 2019, an article about South Dakota marked the realization of the dream. Now there are articles about all 50 states.
