(Photo by John Svetlana Jovanovic Engelbrecht) Design by Benson & Hepker On the warm, sunny, third afternoon of 2019, my photographer friend John and I spent the magic Design, Iowa City hour trying to capture the changing golden light through the window of my studio next to Ralston Creek reflected on this cut paper lettering. The light shifted every second, and we kept chasing it until the sun was hidden by the horizon. This image is one of the 90+ images we shot. It captures all that was magical about that hour.

In these pages, you’ll find workshops in the novel, the short story, the novel-in-stories, the essay, the memoir, writing the body, writing the family, writing the Chimera, writing America, writing about nowhere, hybrid forms, flash fiction, short poems, lyric poems, prose poems, spiritual writing, writing romance, writing resistance, writing humor, playwriting, writing picture books, writing for young adults, and writing beyond genre. We’re breathless with excitement for our 33rd Festival, which features 125 workshops that explore the genres in their reaches. Since 1987, the Festival has welcomed to the campus of The University of Iowa writers from 18 to 98 years of age, from all 50 states, and from every continent. Most of us come to the workshop table from other areas of expertise, other lives. These include the armed forces, business, diplomacy, education, farming, homemaking, journalism, law, law enforcement, medicine, parenting, pastoral care, the performing arts, social services, and more. We come together across the genres, the generations, and at every level of literary practice in a common enterprise. We come as writers. This is the only assumption we make about you, whether you arrive with the third draft of your novel, a message in a bottle, or merely a bee in your bonnet. The Festival is proud to belong to Iowa City—a UNESCO City of Literature in the Creative Cities Network. Iowa City has long been a haven for writers, and The University of Iowa our ancestral home. The rich literary legacy that belongs to this place abides today in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, the Nonfiction Writing Program, the Playwrights Workshop, the International Writing Program, the Spanish Creative Writing Program, the Translation Workshop, the undergraduate Major in English and Creative Writing, The Certificate in Writing, the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio, The Iowa Youth Writing Project, Between the Lines: The Writing Experience, the Irish Writing Program, the Iowa Center for the Book, The University of Iowa Press, The Iowa Review, and The Examined Life Journal. Some years ago, Iowa City dedicated the Iowa Avenue Literary Walk, which celebrates in bronze relief panels some of the singular voices that have come together here, from Flannery O’Connor and Kurt Vonnegut to John Irving and James Tate. Everything here is closely observed—now, even the sidewalks. The Iowa Summer Writing Festival is an opportunity for you to share your work in a community that wishes it well. It’s a long conversation we’ve been having in Iowa City. We invite you to pull up a chair. Amy Margolis Director 1 Welcome TheThe WorkshopWorkshop The Festival Experience Registration Information Registration Form Method Choosing a Workshop Workshops by date The Workshop Method Courses in the Iowa Summer Writing Festival are primarily based on the workshop method, a studio learning environment where the primary text is your own creative work. Many workshops will also include examination of exemplary published work. The workshop is a dynamic community that reads, and responds to, what’s brought to it. We approach each work-in-progress on its own terms, in a spirit of critical appreciation for that work’s own intentions. We’re on its side. In workshops devoted to critiquing work, your writing will be read and discussed by your fellow writers, giving you the benefit of a careful, supportive readership. You are expected to give the same considered feedback to others on their work. Choosing a Workshop Workshop Format: Some workshops in the Festival are devoted to generating new writing through guided exercises and prompts, some to providing feedback on writing you bring from home or produce in your time here, and some to a combination of both. Every workshop description in the Festival begins with the genre(s) it invites and ends with a standard statement of the format it will use. Skill Levels: Most workshops in the Festival are designed with writers across a range of skill levels in mind. They vary, though, in terms of locus in the writing process. But There Are So Many! How Do I Know Which Workshop Is Right for Me? When choosing a workshop, resist the temptation to place yourself as a writer. Rather, think about the work you want to focus on in your time here and where that work is in its development. If you’re working with issues that arise in later drafts, you might look at workshops that explore aspects of revision or structure, or workshops with an emphasis on providing feedback on pages participants bring from home. If you’re starting a new project, or your project has stalled out, or you’re returning to the page after a long silence, or you’re crossing genres, or you’re at your wit’s end deciding, a course that focuses on generating new writing through guided exercises and prompts will give you a boost. If you find choosing among so many workshops dizzying, you might ask: “What do I want to accomplish in my week/weekend in Iowa City? What do I want to carry home and into my writing next year?” Your own goals provide the most accurate map to the workshop that’s best for you. If you get lost in the weeds, call the Festival office at 319-335-4160, and we’ll help you clear a path. You will help us guide you by studying the descriptions and narrowing your selections before we speak. 2 Welcome The Workshop The Festival Experience Registration Information Registration Form Workshops by Date Weeklong Workshops June 9–14 Mary Allen ..................

Rather, we believe governments are instituted to secure these rights. Yet, there is and always will be a perpetual struggle between security and liberty in a free society. Liberty requires security, but too much security can result in a loss of liberty. And the erosion of freedoms is rarely restored. We should never have to give up our rights to preserve them, and our Constitution which specifies the rights of the people and the limitations of the government does not even allow for such an exchange. This balancing act has become increasingly complicated. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks claimed the lives of thousands, changed the lives of millions, and forever altered how we viewed the world. Every American, no matter what part of the country or the world we live in, could be a possible target of terrorism. But our enemies are not always obvious. They do not wear the uniform of a foreign army. Their weapons are not tanks and bullets. Their tactics are unconventional. Their victims are civilians.

  • "The Story of a Dead Man" Was Published in the 1978 Short Story Collection, Elbow Room by James Alan Mcpherson
    "The Story of a Dead Man" was published in the 1978 short story collection, Elbow Room by James Alan McPherson. That collection won the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for fiction the first awarded to an African American for fiction writing. Prof. McPherson taught at the prestigious Iowa Writer's Workshop at U of IA for decades, where he mentored some of our best living writers. He died in the summer of 2016. Please be aware: This story contains strong language, both racist and misogynistic. The story contains a degree of violence and criminality. Nonetheless, the story is profoundly humorous and humane. Please pay special attention to the way McPherson is using class distinctions in his story. -rgk The Story of a Dead Man 33 The Story way back from Harvey after reclaiming a defaulted of a Dead Man Chevy. Neither is it true, as certain of his enemies have maintained, that Billy's left eye was lost during a rumble with that red-neck storekeep outside Limehouse, South '- Carolina. That eye, I now have reason to believe, was lost during domestic troubles. That is quite another story. But I have this full account of the Limehouse difficulty: Billy had stopped off there en route to Charleston to repossess another defaulting car for this same Mr. Floyd Dil­ lingham. He entered the general store with the sole inten­ tion of buying a big orange soda. However, the owner of the joint, a die-hard white supremacist, refused to execute I T is not true that Billy Renfro was killed during that the transaction.

  • REALISM Realism Is As Old As the Human Race. No Doubt Primeval
    REALISM Realism is as old as the human race. No doubt primeval hunters returning from their adventures told stories with rhetoric and gestures intended to evoke an “illusion of real life,” in the phrase of Henry James. Realism is relative, with visions of reality varying from teller to teller, culture to culture and generation to generation. It must be defined in historical context by intention, subject, themes, focus, techniques and style. The Realist movement in American fiction after the Civil War refers to shared intentions of writers as different as Twain and James, opposite poles of sensibility who were contemptuous of each other. Due to such diversity, the only major American writer whose work as a whole could illustrate standard or typical “Realism” as defined by prevailing literary criticism (his own, which emphasizes the commonplace) is William Dean Howells, its characteristics well exemplified in his story “Editha” and his novel The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885). In practice, some of the best examples of pure commonplace Realism are short stories by local color writers such as Mary Wilkins Freeman. Though literary Realism is understood as the opposite of Romance, and Expressionism, the romancers developed techniques of realism to make their stories plausible. In 1826 the word realisme was used in France to describe a literary method that imitated Nature, in contrast to Classicism. However, as Realism developed, it opposed Romanticism and its aesthetics became Neoclassical. In the United States one of the first examples of Realism--realistic for the most part--is “Life in the Iron Mills” (1861) by Rebecca Harding Davis, sympathetic to workers and the lower class against the upper, in the manner of Charles Dickens.

    Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) 1 Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) Director • Lan Samantha Chang Graduate degree: M.F.A. in English Faculty: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/people Website: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/ The Creative Writing Program (Iowa Writers' Workshop) is a world-renowned graduate program for fiction writers and poets. Founded in 1936, it was the first creative writing program in the United States to offer a degree, and it became a model for many contemporary writing programs. In addition to its Master of Fine Arts program, it also offers writing courses for undergraduates. The Iowa Writers' Workshop has been home to thousands of remarkable writers, including Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, Rita Dove, John Irving, James Alan McPherson, Philip Levine, Jane Smiley, Michael Cunningham, Sandra Cisneros, Denis Johnson, Jorie Graham, Ann Patchett, D.A. Powell, Nathan Englander, Yiyun Li, Eleanor Catton, Angela Flournoy, Garth Greenwell, Yaa Gyasi, and Jamel Brinkley. The program's faculty and alumni include winners of virtually every major literary award, including seventeen winners of the Pulitzer Prize (most recently Paul Harding in 2010), six recent U.S. Poets Laureate, and numerous winners of the National Book Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, and other major honors. In 2003, the Iowa Writers' Workshop received a National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities—the first awarded to a university and only the second given to an institution rather than an individual. The Creative Writing Program offers courses for students from other programs of study; summer courses are open to undergraduate and graduate students.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

    GEORGIA VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Serving Georgia Veterinarians Since 1906 VIRTUAL TOWN HALL ON COVID-19 3/26/2020 Business Issues Q&A Please note that there are answers in this document that have now changed due to the Executive Order issued by Governor Brian Kemp on Thursday, 4/2. We will strike through what was valid on 3/26 and provide the correct answer as of 4/2. Panelist: • Dr. Jill Lancaster, GVMA President • Jim Cichanski, CEO, Flex HR • Dr. Lee Myers, USDA APHIS VIC Dr. Jill Lancaster, GVMA PRESIDENT Q: Who determines what an essential business is, when does it happen and are we included? A: Based on what has happened in other states—the Governor of the state/county or city official identifies which businesses are essential and non-essential in their executive order. Yes, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had their list of those that they considered essential, who “have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule.” These were to be used as guidelines for the states (and veterinarians were included in that list, though they could have made it clearer). Governor Kemp has not issued an executive order shutting down businesses but it may come to that. The Executive Order of Governor Kemp stipulates that those businesses that are included in the Department of Homeland Security’s Critical Infrastructure list (veterinarians are included) can remain operational. Those businesses must comply with the following 16 requirements outlined in the Executive Order: 1. Screening and evaluating workers who exhibit signs of illness, such as a fever over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, cough, or shortness of breath; 2.
