On this episode of Rewrite Radio, Rachel Pieh Jones joins us to explore how writing cultivates the humility, curiosity, and delight necessary to create a sense of home when nowhere, or everywhere, feels like home.ย

Jones has also published several books, including ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ (2019), a tribute to health activist Annalena Tonelli, and the memoir ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ด: ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ถ๐ด (2021), which chronicles Jonesโ move from Minnesota to Djibouti, as well as the many lessons from her neighbors while living in a Muslim region.ย
