MFA Candidate Wilson Sims Publishes, "Just Call" in Witness
Congratulations to MFA candidate Wilson M. Sims on publication of an essay, in the Winter 2023 issue of Witness (vol 26, no. 2).
An excerpt from :
I鈥檓 doing the work of mental health and substance abuse consultation in pandemic isolation, and I鈥檓 in my bedroom wearing nothing but gym shorts while suggesting, assessing, and directing. There鈥檚 a full moon tonight and its white light is profiling the holly bushes and fence posts outside my window. It鈥檚 not supposed to be winter but Nashville is cold. In my bedroom that has become a sleep-in office, a lavender-scented candle sweeps a cone of gold across the wall behind my desk and red lights blink along the secure, work-issued phone. Each light represents a call in a queue of need-seeking.
