  • Southwest Books of the Year Complete List
    Southwest Books of the Year 2009 Complete List Southwest Books of the Year is our guide to all the books published during the year, both fiction and nonfiction, with a southwestern setting or subject. Our panel of subject specialists reviews the books we receive and pick the ones they think are the best. Their choices are published in our annual publication, Southwest Books of the Year: Best Reading. The 2009 panel: Bill Broyles, Bruce Dinges, Patricia Etter, Paul Huddy, Cathy Jacobus, and W. David Laird. Helene Woodhams is the coordinator for Southwest Books of the Year. 50 Common Edible & Useful Plants of the Southwest By David Yetman. Western National Parks Association. Index. $34.13. It is interesting to consider that before the arrival of Europeans, as well as after, native Americans in the Sonoran Desert were able to live quite well on indigenous plants and animals. The latest product of David Yetman’s explorations of the Southwest’s ethnobotanical heritage is this nifty basic introduction to fifty plants that were useful to them. Nicely illustrated with good photos, his discussions are interesting and sometimes surprising. In one case, his advise is to avoid even touching the plant in question. Readers who would like to explore this subject further might also be interested in these books: * The Great Cacti: Ethnobotany and Biogeography, by David Yetman; * Enduring Seeds, by Gary Paul Nabhan; * People of the Desert and Sea, by Richard S.

  • Tentative List of Accepted Events for #AWP20
    #AWP20 Accepted Events 2020 AWP Conference & Bookfair March 4 -7, 2020, San Antonio, Texas Henry B. González Convention Center Tentative List of Accepted Events for #AWP20 This list of accepted events for the 2020 Conference & Bookfair is tentative as we wait to receive confirmation from all event organizers and participants. We are also working to ensure that each participant does not participate in more than two events. The final conference schedule will be posted in October at awpwriter.org. The list is organized by event type: panel discussions (pg. 2), pedagogy events (pg. 76), and readings (pg. 87). Within these categories, events are alphabetized by title. Event titles and descriptions have not been edited for grammar or content. AWP believes in freedom of expression and open debate, and the views and opinions expressed in these event titles and descriptions may not necessarily reflect the views of AWP’s staff, board of trustees, or members. Visit the page on How Events Are Selected for details about how the 2020 San Antonio Subcommittee made their selections. AWP’s conference subcommittee worked hard to shape a diverse schedule for #AWP20, creating the best possible balance among genres, presenters, and topics. Every year, there are a number of high-quality events that have to be left off the schedule due to space limitations. Although the pool of submissions was highly competitive, we did our best to ensure that the conference belongs to AWP’s numerous and varied constituencies. From 1,359, we tentatively accepted 480 events involving more than 2,000 panelists. For more information about events relating to particular affinity groups, please see the Community Events of #AWP20.

  • Tentative Accepted Community Events
    #AWP20 Accepted Community Events 2020 AWP Conference & Bookfair March 4-7, 2020, San Antonio, Texas Henry B. González Convention Center Tentative Accepted Community Events AWP accepted a total of 480 events out of 1,359 proposals. The overall acceptance rate was 35% of the proposed events. We have identified 280 events, referenced below, as events dedicated to the representation of specific literary communities based on their titles or descriptions. Event proposals representing these literary communities all have acceptance rates higher than the overall rate of 35%. • 14 African-American events (67% acceptance rate) • 14 Asian-American events (54% acceptance rate) • 20 disabilities events (53% acceptance rate) • 55 feminist and women’s issues events (38% acceptance rate) • 14 graduate students and adjunct faculty events (58% acceptance rate) • 8 Indigenous events (57% acceptance rate) • 29 international and translation events (43% acceptance rate) • 7 K-12 events (37% acceptance rate) • 35 Latino events (56% acceptance rate) • 21 LGBTQ events (48% acceptance rate) • 10 religion-related events (37% acceptance rate) • 153 social justice and multicultural events (43% acceptance rate) • 4 veterans events (36% acceptance rate) Many of these 280 events represent topics relevant to more than one of these communities, and so they are counted as part of each community with which they engage. Many members of these communities also participate in other events that are not listed here, as this data quantifies topics, not individuals. For instance, graduate students and adjunct faculty participate in many other events that are not labeled by the terms “students” or “adjuncts.” Many readings inclusive of people of color or the LGBTQ community are simply billed as readings, and are, therefore, not counted here, though they are represented in other demographic data.
