Over a shared joint, she tells him about the burning in her gut, winding a tale of loss, desire, and conspiracies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLittle Lea sees the world through backcountry eyes that distrust the outsiders who come but who also get to leave. When she isn't working at her mother's grocery store, she cares for her empty-headed younger sister, Nora, who only cries when she's in pain. Meanwhile, her friend Catalina does nothing but cry. Little Lea wants Javier to love her, and she doesn't want Marco, who leaves weed and his best potatoes on her doorstep. As the town prepares for their end-of-the-world festival, she faces her intensifying desire to leave, that burning that unsettles her life--she wants to be useful somewhere else, even if it means being unloved, unwanted, unable to return. That's all she knows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a formally ambitious sustained monologue meant to distract the man as the forest does its work, Elisa Levi's \u003ci\u003eThat's All I Know\u003c\/i\u003e explores the toll of caring for those who cannot care for themselves, the fear of the unknown that anchors people to unfulfilling lives, and the bravery it takes to stop deceiving oneself, to give in to longing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElisa Levi\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a poetry collection and two novels.
