Darcie Rives-East - Sioux Falls, SD

Darcie first read four of the books that she teaches at Augustana–the stories she deems worthy of representing American literature–in one course at Grinnell. As a professor, she shares these texts, coupled with an understanding that not everything can be understood the same way. She tells me that she hopes this helps her students as they wrestle with both the books and their own baggage.
