    Title: Profile: Life and career of artist Walter Iglis Anderson on the 100th anniversary of his birth Source: Weekend Edition Sunday. (Sept. 28, 2003) Full Text: LIANE HANSEN, host: One hundred years ago tomorrow American painter, muralist, sculptor and iconoclast Walter Inglis Anderson was born. His name might not leap to mind as readily as Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper or other 20th century artists, but to those who have seen his vivid watercolors or epic murals, Walter Anderson's work is unforgettable. Anderson's creations can now be seen by a wide audience. The Smithsonian Institution has just opened a major exhibition of his art, some 160 pieces, the largest showing ever undertaken outside of his hometown of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Linda Crocker Simmons, Corcoran Museum curator emeritus, is guest curator of the Walter Anderson Centennial Exhibition at the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building. She says that Anderson's watercolors of flora and fauna might bring to mind the work of naturalist James Audubon, but the similarity stops there. Ms. LINDA CROCKER SIMMONS (Curator Emeritus, Corcoran Museum): He's not simply an illustrator. You would not use his images of frogs to give you biological information about what a bullfrog is like. He gives you his understanding of the relationship of that frog to the cosmos. He really is concerned more than with the replication of every wart on that frog, the frogginess of it, if you want to put it that way. HANSEN: Blue crabs radiate an iridescent sheen, hummingbirds face off needling beak to beak, menacing fish peer out of a bayou, impossibly green frogs ascend a curtain of bullrushes.

    The ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000–2010

    The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment The ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000–2010 Editor's Note “Have you read . ?” “You should read. .” “Can anyone recommend good articles, essays, poems, or books about . ?” Sharing of bibliographical references must rank among the most frequent activities in any academic community. Informal exchanges of bibliographic information occur at every conference and on every e-mail list. On the listserv of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE), from its inception to today, long-established netiquette has called for folks who have posted requests for bibliographical references to compile the suggestions and post them back to the group. Listserv archives were (and are) available and searchable, but finding bibliographic information in those archives is not a trivial task. And in the early 1990s, academic bibliographies such as the MLA International Bibliography did not index many sources of interest to the emerging interdisciplinary field of ecocriticism. Accordingly, from 1990 to 1997, ASLE produced annual or biennial annotated bibliographies. Working with volunteer bibliographers, the editors of the ASLE Bibliography compiled entries in MLA format, accompanied by one-sentence abstracts, paragraph-length summaries, and keywords from a custom list of terms designed to reflect the work and concerns of ecocriticism. Those invaluable bibliographies were printed in an 8.5 x 11” format and sold to members to cover printing costs. Creating an annual, printed bibliography with few resources and a volunteer staff amounted to a Herculean task, and the fruits of that labor could be distributed only once every year or two. So, when the job of editor opened up in the late 90s, I began exploring with ASLE’s Executive Council the possibility of creating an online bibliography.
