Rick Bailey is the author of three collections of nonfiction, all published by University of Nebraska Press.

American English, Italian Chocolate (2017)
The Enjoy Agenda (2019)
Get Thee to a Bakery (coming Spring 2021)

He also writes a blog.

He and his wife live part of the time in the US and part of the time in San Marino and Italy. Wherever they are, they cook and eat lunch, enjoy wine, read and shop, hang out and amuse themselves. He writes to remember stuff that happens and try make sense of it. 

In three to five minute excerpts from his essays, this podcast illustrates the range of topics he writes about and samples the flavor of his work.
