Every couple weeks or so I am publishing an essay from an emerging writer. This week, the essay “Inheritance,” from Mia Innocenti. Mia is a creative nonfiction writer based in New York City. She received her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and is a 2022 Aspen Summer Words Fellow. Her work can be found in Honeyguide Literary Magazine.
