Charlotte Street Foundation identifies the needs and fuels the evolution of an ever-changing multidisciplinary arts ecosystem, acting as its primary provocateur. We cultivate the contemporary, the exceptional, and the unexpected in the practice of artists working in and engaging with the Kansas City Art Community
Danny Volin is a writer, usually of short stories but sometimes of longer stuff too. He’s been a baseball field liner, a window washer, a children’s bookstore clerk, a teacher, a copywriter, a terrible pizza cook, a gym towel folder, a dissertation editor, a “No-Child-Left-Behind” tutor, a document scanner, a house painter, a standardized test writer, and a lawn mower. He is generally overeducated.
Volin writes: “Although there is the occasional novel attempt, my work is primarily short stories. They focus – sometimes against my will – on the Midwest. I wind up writing about Kansas, the prairie, the suburbs and small towns. Those are the physical locations at least. On a character level – though it seems silly to put it so nakedly – I write about lonely people willfully striving against their own loneliness. People who want to not just to be heard, but to be understood and listened to.”
