Send it as a WORD document, please. Deadlines will usually be the 20th day of the month prior to the issue’s release.

  • Oregon Coast Trail Beach Walking Discovery by Regina Reiter August 10-September 13, 2019
    Oregon Coast Trail Beach Walking Discovery by Regina Reiter August 10-September 13, 2019 © Regina Bernard Reiter [email protected] Oregon Coast Trail Beach Walking Discovery by Regina Reiter August 10-September 13, 2019 Preface I grew up in Ohio, the land of cornfields, fossils, and low hills. I threw stones into rivers, canoed on rivers and lakes, and walked in many streams. The first time I remember visiting the ocean was around ten years old on a day trip with my family to a beach in Maine. It was cold and rocky! Beaches didn’t figure in my life much. I can dig up memories of a handful of beach visits after that cold dip in Maine; a couple of trips along the Florida Keys with friends and colleagues during college; a brief stop at Cape May to introduce my 6-month old son to the surf in 1972. My beach visits got more regular for ten years starting in the mid- 1990’s when we joined my husband’s family for a week every summer on the beautiful beach of Cape San Blas, Florida. One summer, my husband and I walked the 8 miles to the tip of the cape, slept out and then walked back to the rental house the next morning. These trips gave me a deeper connection to the beach. I also took a few walks on the beach of Charleston, South Carolina, where one of my brothers lived. There, I enjoyed the warmth of the beach. So, before my 60th year, I had played in the surf of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf.

    Outline for “At Home and Out of Place” Anne Goldman, event organizer, moderator, and panelist Megan Harlan, Patrick Madden, and Angela Morales, panelists We’ve divided up our 60 sessions as follows: I: brief introductions (see bios) approx 3 minutes total II: short readings (see the passages excerpted below): 15-20 minutes total (more or less) III: a conversation about craft using questions generated from the literary dialogue our four separate readings create (see a list of questions for discussion below). approx 35-40 minutes (the remainder of the time) After brief introductions (please see the bios provided below), each writer will read a 4-5- minute excerpt for her or his work. These excerpts are provided below. This should bring us to approximately the 25-minute point. We will spend the thirty-fiveminutes remaining discussing issues of craft that arise from the conversation our excerpts help create. We have come up with a list of questions as possible prompts for discussion, but we expect the conversation to proceed organically. I: Bios: ANNE GOLDMAN’s books include Stargazing in the Atomic Age (UGA, 2021). Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Tin House, The Guardian, the Georgia Review, the Gettysburg Review, the Southwest Review, Volt, and elsewhere. Her essays have been named as notable in Best American Essays, Best American Science and Nature Writing, and Best American Travel Writing. Stargazing’s titular essay was nominated for a National Magazine Award. Goldman teaches creative writing and American literature in California at Sonoma State University. MEGAN HARLAN is the author of Mobile Home: A Memoir in Essays, winner of the 2019 AWP Award for Creative Nonfiction and published by the University of Georgia Press in September 2020.
