Chris Faatz: IMG Larry Watson: The Powells.com Interview
| 0 comments By Chris Faatz

Interviews | September 19, 2013

Larry Watson Watson: Years ago when I was reading a Cormac McCarthy novel (I can no longer remember which one), it struck me that he was doing something remarkable with point of view. He was using a more-or-less objective point of view, but his descriptions of the landscape, for example, were so original and individualized, in both language and perception, that we had a sense of the inner landscape of the characters. Their thoughts were not on the page, yet their inner lives were. I've always wanted to try something like that, and Let Him Go was my attempt... Continue

Lyanda Lynn Haupt: IMG Celebrate Fiercely: Creative Life in Wild Cities
| 1 comment By Lyanda Lynn Haupt

Original Essays | September 17, 2013

Daily connection with the natural, wild world makes us more creative, responsive, responsible, imaginative, wild, and happy inhabitants of our home communities. In our urban neighborhoods, cultivating a celebratory connection does not mean feeding wild animals or making them our friends or letting them take over our houses. It means allowing all beings to flourish in their place, in safety, in wildness, and insisting on this always. And when a perceived conflict between human and wild occurs? We proceed with compassion, with ingenuity, with a tolerance for occasional inconvenience, with the best of our evolutionary creativity... Continue

Poe Ballantine: IMG In Such a Crowded, Competitive, Opportunistic World, Why Would I Be the Only One to Write This Book?
| 0 comments By Poe Ballantine

Guests | September 16, 2013

It's the story of the century, the most baffling, bizarre, and beastly crime in anyone's memory. A beautiful, elegant, gentle, brilliant man, a theoretical mathematician, goes missing and is discovered three months later way back in the sticks in a horrifying pose. The town immediately goes into a panic. The local police travel in widening circles, scratching their heads and issuing cryptic statements. Many are convinced a serial killer is on the loose. Jim Hahn swears he saw FBI vans in town. Lisa Aschwege knows who did it. The gossipmongers jump aboard their gossamer machines. In a town where many do not lock their doors, we all begin locking our doors. And in spite of the fact that there are many here qualified to do so, including literature professors who teach up on the hill, NO ONE IS WRITING THE BOOK... Continue
