Laura Farmer is drawn to place as a writer. Growing up, she loved exploring how other people used and moved through their homes, including apartments, rambling houses, and an old nursing home with a gloriously creepy elevator. Her writing explores how a home is created and how it can be maintained--the spirit, not just the shell. Farmer also finds inspiration in her home state of Iowa. Her collection of short stories, Direct Connection, is also set in Iowa, and she has published fiction in The Iowa Review, North American Review, and other journals. Farmer directs the Dungy Writing Studio at Cornell College, where she helps students tell stories of their own.
