Iowa City Unesco City of Literature Presents IOWACITYBOOKFESTIVAL.ORG IOWA CITY UNESCO CITY OF LITERATURE PRESENTS Oct. 1-6, 2019 OCT. 1-6, 2019 recently ran into someone who told me the annual Iowa City Book Festival is her “happy place.” She I recounted events she had attended over the past few years, reciting specific details from the sessions. “I just STAFF learn so much!” she said. As we embark on the 11th annual Iowa City Book Festival, feedback like that is energizing. Providing those Executive types of experiences is the driving force behind the festival. We hope our attendees come away entertained and Director enlightened. John Kenyon I am often asked in the lead-up to each year’s festival, “Who do you have?” These well-meaning queries are in search of a name that will spark recognition, and each year we certainly offer authors with names familiar to Director of those who peruse the New York Times Book Review. But we also schedule many authors whose names might not be Operations familiar, whose works haven’t hit your radar… yet. Rachael Carlson Iowa City, the third city in the world to earn the City of Literature designation, is now one of 28 in the world and one of 180 members of UNESCO’s multi-art form Creative Cities Network. We were recognized for Marketing many reasons: The word-renowned writing programs at the University of Iowa, including the Writers’ Workshop Assistant and International Writing Program, our small presses and magazines, our wonderful libraries, our bookstores, Brooke Sarrazin and amenities like the Iowa Avenue Literary Walk. While you are here, we encourage you to explore all of this and more, to fully immerse yourself in our rich literary culture. Social Media One of the joys of being in a City of Literature is not just the opportunity to be around well-known Sarah Nelson authors, but to be around people who are toiling away on their first novel, perfecting a poem that may never see publication, interviewing someone for a groundbreaking essay or piece of nonfiction. Literature is all around Intern us here, and the Iowa City Book Festival is our small way of illuminating a portion of it. Sometimes that means John Paul shining a spotlight, while other times we are attempting to brighten the corners a bit. Cacioppo Each year, the City of Literature staff is aided in that task by many people. In addition to the dozens of volunteers who make this possible, I would like to give special thanks to Anna Barker, Hugh Ferrer, Kathleen Program Design Johnson, Jordan Sellergren, and Jan Weissmiller. Little Village In addition, I would like to thank Ina Loewenberg, Mara Cole, Beth Fisher, Maeve Clark, the Iowa City Public Library, Prairie Lights, Joe Tiefenthaler and Rebecca Fons and the staff at FilmScene, the International Cover Writing Program, M.C. Ginsberg, the City of Coralville, the Coralville Public Library, Alison Ames Galstad, illustration United Way of Johnson County, Little Village, the Iowa Writers’ House, University of Iowa Libraries, and Iowa Blair Gauntt Public Radio.

  • IFS Brochure . PDF File
    2 Welcome to IFS 2015! In the early 1980s when it first began to dawn on me that Self was in everyone and that parts weren’t what they seemed, I had a vision of huge possibility. If it panned out that Self was in there untouched by trauma and accessed by simply getting parts to step back, and if parts could quickly transform from their extreme states to their valuable ones, then that information could change everything. I realized that this paradigm could revolutionize many fields: medicine, education, spirituality, mediation and international relations, criminal justice, and corporate leadership, to name just a few. But I was a therapist and was caught up in the systems thinking movement that was going to revolutionize the mental health field. This was the only field in which I had any expertise or credibility. So I devoted all my energy to helping IFS gain respect and popularity within psychotherapy, hoping that along the way, people with expertise and credibility in other fields would expand it in those directions. At this point, IFS has achieved a level of respectability within psychotherapy, although there are miles to go before we rest. There are also a number of talented people who have brought IFS in small ways to other fields, including health and executive coaching, mediation, and education. In each case, they have been received very well and have been excited by the results, but they have limited time and energy to devote to spreading it. The movie Inside Out is but one of many omens that our culture may be more open to the idea of parts and that the time is ripe for IFS to have a bigger influence in many other areas.

    Volume 20 Issue 6 June 1, 2020 John Trandem’s beautiful Mark V John really knows how to find these great cars. We want to take time to thank John Trandem of the Fargo-Morehead area for responding to our plea for articles for our newsletter. Over the years, John has contributed a few which really show his long time love of our favorite brand. John is really an expert on the 70s era Marks. He knows how to find the best examples and at the right price. Here is John’s story…. It was 1994, and I had just moved to Minneapolis at the age of 19 when I started noticing the Lincoln Mark V. In those years, there were still plenty of them on the road, and they could be bought for a reasonable price, so I set out to find one. Now when I say 'reasonable price,' what I Welcome to the really mean is three figures- not four, so my choices were not exactly abundant, but they were out there. Browsing one of the local auto trader type magazines one day, I came across a 1977 Lincoln Northstar News, the Mark V Cartier and wanted it bad! The problem is that it was $2,000, and I didn't have $2,000 monthly publication of any more than I had $2,000,000, so I looked at the ad every day and hoped that another one would the Northstar Region come along in my price range. Well, one did, but it was not a Cartier, and is not the subject of this story, but I did own my first Mark V- Burgundy with a white half-vinyl top and Burgundy Roma- of the Lincoln and no velour interior.

  • Good Day, Mystery Fans! Today's Stellar Author Is John Sandford. I
    Good day, Mystery Fans! Today’s stellar author is John Sandford. I could do two write-ups on his work as he has two heroes, and perhaps I will. For now, though, I would like to tell you about Virgil Flowers, my personal favorite. The thirteen book ongoing series started in 2007 with Dark of the Moon. T he latest one, published in 2021, is O cean Prey. Sandford’s Lucas Davenport series has titles that all have the word “Prey” in them, so you might be wondering what Flowers is doing in a “Prey” book. The answer must be that Sandford wanted to capture the fans of both of his heroes with just one book. Flowers is tall, lean, late thirties and has been divorced three times. Deciding he did not want to be a four time loser, he stopped getting married. He is still a bit of a lady’s man. He works for the fictional Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in the twin cities of St.Paul and Minneapolis. He has a university degree in environmental science, is an outdoorsman and a published author in hunting and fishing magazines. Flowers loves to fish, and often brings his fishing boat behind his car when seeking justice for the wrongdoer. In order to be completely transparent in my reviews, I should say that I grew up in St.Paul and thus recognize lots of the places where Virgil goes in his quest to catch or dispatch the villains. The books are thrillers, not cozys. There are some graphic scenes, but they don’t overwhelm the narratives.

When told of being named a Grand Master, Collins said, “To be in the company of Agatha Christie, Rex Stout and Mickey Spillane is both thrilling and humbling. This is an honor second to none in the art of mystery and suspense fiction.” Max Allan Collins sold his first two novels in 1972 while a student at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop. More than one hundred novels have followed, including his award- winning and groundbreaking Nathan Heller historical series, starting with True Detective (1983).
