PINE BLUFFS LIBRARY READS DEEP WEST: Lisa Knowlton at the Laramie County Public Library branch in Pine Bluffs will launch the 2006 “Writing Wyoming” book discussion series with Deep West: A Literary Tour of Wyoming. As one of the editors of this fine volume -- and slightly biased because of it -- I urge you to dive into Deep West and sample the work of 19 WYO writers. Read nature poetry by Cheyenne native B.J. Buckley or more experimental work by NEA fellowship recipient Dainis Hazners of Story. Sample one of Annie Proulx’s stories from Close Range or an essay by Linda Hasselstrom about the wisdom of horses. Each of these writers wrote an original essay for the book on the topic “Why I Live – and Write – in Wyoming.” The book’s appendix includes a list of other books by WYO writers, a list that could occupy your imagination through several long winters. Register for the book discussion program at the library, 110 E. 2nd St., Pine Bluffs, or call 307-245-3646.
