  • In the Kingdom of Men
    In the Kingdom of Men Kim Barnes is the author of two memoirs and two previous novels, including A Country Called Home , which received the 2009 PEN Center USA Literary Award in fiction and was named a best book of 2008 by The Washington Post , the Kansas City Star and The Oregonian . She is the recipient of the PEN/Jerard Fund Award for an emerging woman writer of non-fiction, and her first memoir, In the Wilderness , was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Her work has appeared in a number of publi - cations and anthologies, including the New York Times ; MORE magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine ; Good Housekeeping ; Fourth Genre ; The Georgia Review ; Shenandoah ; and the Push - cart Prize anthology. Barnes is a professor of writing at the University of Idaho and lives with her husband, the poet Robert Wrigley, on Moscow Mountain. ALSO BY KIM BARNES FICTION A Country Called Home Finding Caruso NON-FICTION In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country Hungry for the World: A Memoir Praise for In the Kingdom of Men ‘Arresting . A richly wrought historical novel . Barnes seems incapable of writing a lazy sentence. It would be easy enough to enjoy her novel for its images alone — Gin learning to roast coffee beans over an open fire and milk camels straight into enamel bowls; the local children who line their eyes with kohl and drip with precious stones — but its feats are more than just descriptive. We have here the portrait of a woman whose ambitions outsize the time and place she lives, and also of what happens to a marriage when taken out of a familiar context.

  • 2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects
    2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects Due to the unique circumstances, Summer Reading will look a bit different this year. First, why are we expecting students to participate in summer reading? We chose to continue our summer reading requirement be- cause it is crucial to fighting summer learning loss. Below is an infograph- ic that summarizes what we know about how much information and skills can decline during summer break. Summer reading is an important tool to reconnect with those skills. This summer reading project will require students to choose their own book to read. Chosen books must meet the following requirements: 1. The book can be fiction or non-fiction. 2. The book must be written for adults or young adults (YA literature). 3. The book must be primarily text-focused (no graphic novels, manga, comic books, etc.) 4. The book must be 250 pages or more. After reading the book, students will complete one project (see choices and rubric on page 4). Remember that all projects include a writing component. During the first week of school students and teachers will discuss the books and share stu- dent projects. This gives both students and teachers the chance to connect to the litera- ture by sharing their reactions, questions, and insights. Summer reading also counts as a significant grade for English classes. To make sure everyone has access to books, we included a list of resources for books on page 3. Our resource list was designed to ac- commodate everyone’s limited access to li- braries and stores due to Covid-19 restrictions.
