Misbehaving Nebraskans: An Eclectic Collection of Poetry Stories and Art

Nebraskans love to vigorously debate who we are--starting with our state slogans: The Good Life to the newer Nebraska Nice. We joke about the phallic shape of our capitol building over lattes defend the scent of western Nebraskas ranches as the smell of money and engage our radio talk-show hosts in intense discussions about what image should represent us on our license plates--cougars elephants or meadowlarks. Nebraskans are ranchers and farmers soldiers and officers inventors and entrepreneurs laborers and winemakers world travelers and homebodies artists and writers.This Misbehaving Nebraskans collection is not the neat and tidy version of us. Its gritty authentic painful poignant thoughtful and honest. Creative Nebraskans from high school age to the seasoned (dont call us old) and everywhere in between sent in their submissions and selected judges had the honor of feasting on the entries like vultures at a roadkill buffet. We saved the tastiest morsels for you. Enjoy!
