  • “A Moving, Enchanting Story of Love and Loss. Amanda Wen Takes Read- Ers on an Adventure That Weaves Past and Present Together
    “A moving, enchanting story of love and loss. Amanda Wen takes read- ers on an adventure that weaves past and present together in a beautiful tapestry of skillful storytelling. I was blown away by this book and its timeless message.” Heidi CHiavaroli, Carol Award–winning author of Freedom’s Ring and Te Tea Chest “Amanda Wen seamlessly blends the historical and the contemporary in this lyrical debut. From Annabelle, a courageous young woman building a life on the Kansas frontier, to Sloane, a museum curator searching for answers within the pages of a diary penned over one hundred years ago, Roots of Wood and Stone spans generations in a brilliantly rendered nar- rative that explores the heart behind the places we call home.” amanda Barratt, author of Te White Rose Resists and My Dearest Dietrich “Compelling. Rich. Winding through past and present and linking them in surprising ways, Wen’s debut novel captures the legacy of a his- toric farmhouse and all the people who’ve made their lives there. I was rooting for Sloane out of the gate, and my heart went up and down with her story until the well-drawn conclusion. Wen writes with warmth and a delightful voice about heritage, family, and the nature of what’s truly important.” Joanna davidson Politano, author of Te Love Note “Now and then I am fortunate enough to read a book that so thoroughly captures me that I forget I’m reading. It’s rare, but when it happens it feels a whole lot like magic. Amanda Wen has written such a novel.

Both music and politics are two of my biggest interests, so I felt that this class would allow me to create a very unique final project. For my project, I decided to create my own political concept album that would analyze the role of music in certain social and political movements. Inspired by old vinyl records, this curation will contain 12 songs that are divided evenly on each side of the record. Side A will contain six songs that are considered anthems of the Civil Rights Movement, while Side B will contain six songs that are considered anthems for the Black Lives Matter Movement.

    Journey to the East: Essays A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Stephen David Grover June 2009 © 2009 Stephen David Grover. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Journey to the East: Essays by STEPHEN DAVID GROVER has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT GROVER, STEPHEN DAVID, M.A., June 2009, English Journey to the East: Essays (76 pp.) Director of thesis: Dinty W. Moore This thesis is a collection of seven personal essays written by the author and headed by a critical introduction. The introduction presents a common theme among the essays—that they represent a “journey to the East”—and points out the function of memory in the essays and the necessity for some distance between the speaker and the protagonist in each, even though those two may in fact be the same person. Such distance, the author claims, allows valuable discoveries to be made and justifies an otherwise purely egotistical venture. The introduction also expresses the author’s desire that his essays promote empathy—between author and reader, between reader and the world, and between the reader and the reader’s self. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Dinty W. Moore Professor of English 4 DEDICATION For Jon 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express thanks for all those who helped me put this thesis together, including those who participated in workshops with me and offered their sincere advice, those who read and responded to these essays in their free time, and those who offered encouragement and advice outside the express act of writing—among others: Joey, Liz, Holly, Catherine, Zach, and Diana.

PROVING THAT RUMORS OF THIS ‘ZINE’S DEMISE ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED, here FINALLY is a new edition of the Cut. I won’t waste a whole lot of time and space analyzing why we haven’t put out a new issue in so long. I’ll just say that I’ve been one EXTREMELY busy person this past year, and wasn’t able to sink the time into the Cut that I wanted to. In fact, I’m just NOW starting to get caught up writing about all the stuff that happened last summer – concerts, vacations, album reviews, etc. And I still have more to do! So next issue, our “end of year recap” issue, will also feature some reviews from last summer, and other takes and B-S I need to get out of my system.
