Spotlight on Alaska Books. Monday, May 18, 2015. Alaska Shorts: Ten Years. They divorced and I packed my books, piano music, and journals to move away from the house with the chair by the kitchen window and my secret mountain. I gave my homeless friends the rest of my money and my large, well-organized bundle of bus transfer slips before hugging each of them good-bye. I walked across the street, turned around, and said, “Stay strong! 8221; just before getting on the departing bus. In the ten years since ...

49 Writers: From Our Archives: Anne Coray on Defending the Home Turf--Alaska Style

http://49writers.blogspot.com/2015/05/from-our-archives-anne-coray-on.html

Spotlight on Alaska Books. Monday, May 11, 2015. From Our Archives: Anne Coray on Defending the Home Turf- Alaska Style. I had Visqueen, Blazo, and a .22 strapped to my snowmachine. My argument is that keeping a few brand names and colloquialisms adds local color to our writing. What would Faulkner have done, if he’d been spinning stories set in the North? Tacking on the explanatory noun seems redundant and unnecessary. As for snowmachine, I’ve been told by my New York editor (my younger brothe...Besides...

49 Writers: Gary Geddes: Perfect, Schmerfect

http://49writers.blogspot.com/2015/04/gary-geddes-perfect-schmerfect.html

Spotlight on Alaska Books. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Gary Geddes: Perfect, Schmerfect. Sometimes I agonize over a line that seems to have an awkward pattern of stresses. The first few lines of Michael Ondaatje’s brilliant elegy on the death of his father, “Letters and Other Worlds,” begins with the italicized lines: “for there was no more darkness for him and, no doubt like Adam before the fall, he could see in the dark.”.
