Local Authors Past and Present
Work in progress here -- the field is richer than first envisioned. We hope to incorporate past authors (Marianne Moore, Jean Craighead George, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, and so on), present authors/illustrators (Amy Bates, Megan Lloyd-Thompson, Adrienne Su, Kim van Alkemade, Sherry Knowlton, and so on), and books from authors who knew the Valley well and wrote about events here (Lois Lenski, Lois Lowry, Conrad Richter, and so on). We will organize them with category headers for better searching and annotate them with the particulars as we work on this. Keep checking!

Poetry of the Administration Volume I: You could see there was Blood [Fall 2018]
Christine Nowick experiments with found poetry to shine a stark light on contemporary news. Direct quotes, documented media accounts, and prosaic writings are transformed by recasting them into poetic lines of emphasis and re-direction to provide another understanding of what is happening in the United States since 2016.
