After serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala from Ranch Heritage 1991 to 1993, she returned stateside to obtain a Master of Arts degree in Art House Therapy from Marylhurst University in 1996 specializing in ontological ill- ness and trauma survival. Having spent her formative years in Virginia and Alabama, Ellen’s a southerner at heart—meaning her pets will always be “dawgs” and any group of two or more is consistently referred to as “y’all” even though she currently lives on a working farm near Portland with her husband, two young children and a passel of barnyard pets. Ellen has written a memoir “When I was Elena” documenting the years she lived in Guatemala at the end of that country’s civil war. Her career as a trauma and loss therapist has been in a film “Paint Me a Future”. She teaches Creative Writing in high schools and colleges across the country. Her allegiance will always be with the Crimson Tide sports.

    Soapstone: Celebrating Women Writers Study Groups 2015 - 2021 ====================================================== Reading Claudia Rankine, led by Ashley Toliver Six Saturday Mornings, 10:00 to 12, April – May, 2021 via Zoom Few books of modern poetry have so handily met and captured the zeitgeist of our collective psyche as Claudia Rankine's 2004 book, Citizen. Published in the midst of the nation’s spreading awareness of police brutality, racism and the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement, Citizen became an instant classic for its everyday depictions of the micro-aggressions faced by Black Americans, for whom the personal is always political. www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/claudia- rankine What’s interested me about Rankine’s career is how her work has moved from the intimately personal— permitting us only mere glimpses of the surrounding world— to the largely collective in both voice and concern. When I first encountered Claudia’s work, I was a college sophomore. While browsing the poetry stacks of my college library, I discovered her first two books, Nothing In Nature is Private and The End of the Alphabet. Both books swept me off my feet with the intensity of their inward gaze. In this study group, I’m interested in exploring the transition in subjectivity and form that takes shape in the space between Rankine’s The End of the Alphabet and Citizen. We’ll also explore selected readings in the form of additional excerpts from her work, interviews, articles, and/or whatever else we discover along the way. It’s my hope that this class will be an open, easy-going space where we can discuss Rankine’s work with fluidity, ease, and good humor.

  • From the Director's Desk
    FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK News In July 1994 the Town of Leesburg took over ownership and operation of Thomas Balch Library. After review and community input the Town initiated long overdue reconstruction of the facility with sympathetic additions making the library a much admired focal point for the community. In addi- tion to award winning work on the building, the grounds were completely redone and a garden with fountain and park benches, dedicated to Agnes M. (1918-2013) and B. Powell Harrison (1911-2000), local community leaders, was installed. Even with ongoing maintenance by the Town of Leesburg, with over 30,000 visitors annually, we have now reached a point where the building and grounds need attention beyond the routine. The Agnes and B. Powell Harrison Garden, a much loved and oft used niche in the historic district, is in need of upgrading and rehabilitation. Many of the plants have outlived their natural life cycle. The fountain, replaced five years ago, needs replacing. The brick patio area surrounding the fountain has settled, resulting in an uneven and dangerous walking surface. The handicapped parking slot is inconvenient and hard to maneuver, and the brick lights along the back property line are always an accident waiting to happen. Windows in the new addition are single pane, and storm win- dows are under consideration for the bay windows for energy efficiency. The Town has commenced refurbishment of the grounds, updating the parking lot, installing of audio equipment in the meeting room and storm windows for the Janney Room to assist with energy efficiency at a cost of $25,000.

  • Posted 7/12/15 Hello David, I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer
    Posted 7/12/15 Hello David, I’m a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Guatemala, ’91-'93) now living near Portland, Oregon. I’ll be traveling through your region this summer as part of a 20+-city national book tour for my new novel, Landfall. The book is a work of contemporary historical fiction set in Tuscaloosa and New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and is due to release on the 10-year anniversary of the storm this August. Some of the South’s most beloved authors, such as Pat Conroy and Fannie Flagg, have thrown their endorsement behind the book; a kindness for which I’m most grateful. My first book, When I Was Elena, was a memoir of my experiences as a PCV in Guatemala and was praised by esteemed authors such as Alice Walker and Cheryl Strayed. I’ll be in your community — reading from Landfall, hosting a Q&A, and discussing the effects of Hurricane Katrina — at Brazos Books in Houston on August 26 at 7pm. Given that I don’t know too many folks in that area, I’m hopeful the local RPCVs might be willing to turn out to support me. To that end, if you’d be willing to extend an invitation to them either through a newsletter, an email update, or the forwarding of this note, I’d be most appreciative. I promise it will be a fascinating and enriching evening! I’m also available to meet with book groups, either in person while I’m in town or via Skype at an alternate date, and would love to make your members’ book clubs a top priority! You can find more information about Landfall, as well as my other writing, at www.ellenurbani.com.
