Curtain Creek Farm (Karen and Michael Braziller Books)

Now in paperback, stories about a Sixties commune in Washington State, a generation later. The quirky residents of Curtain Creek Farm still make sandals, weave blankets, and grow organic vegetables; but now they also have a web site; their children are having children; and into their underground homes, tree houses, and tin-roofed cabins, aging parents are coming to live with them. Nance Van Winckel "merges popular culture and utopian lifestyles with rosy, generous vision" (Publishers Weekly) in these "fully satisfying stories" (The Seattle Times)

Nance Van Winckel is the author of two collections of stories, five volumes of poetry, and many essays and reviews. She is on the faculty of Eastern Washington University, Spokane.
