passed to provide the guest a small stipend and to help fund future
readings.
Join us to meet Crescent Dragonwagon at 7pm\, March 28th. We will have all her cookbooks and picture books that are still in print available that night.
Crescent describes herself as "\;a freelance writer (much published)\, a cornbread-loving\, genre-bending 56 year-old. Writing is work\, play\, the way I make much of my living. It's occasionally highly anxious-making\, always surprising. I teach\, and am constantly taught by\, writing.
My published work includes fiction (novels\, a few short stories)\,
cookbooks\, memoir\, poetry\, children's books\, magazine articles. My
unpublished work contains a lot of rough drafts of the previous\, plus
countless other writing pursued for fun\, self-knowledge\, curiosity\,
experimentation\, out of pique. There is no limit to what the act of
writing does for the writer. It is a generous discipline."\;
Most of you around here will know here from her time at The Dairy Hollow House bed and breakfast in Eureka Springs .

The project whose research led to the publication of Cave Life of
Oklahoma and Arkansas began in the 1970s as a study of Ozark cavefish
and expanded to encompass two states and involve a number of research
topics and collaborators. The authors and their team donned snorkeling
gear\, cave suits\, and climbing harnesses and descended into caves in
Oklahoma and Arkansas to study\, inventory\, and photograph this hidden
world.
The result is a comprehensive checklist of the region's
cave fauna\, complete with descriptions of these rare animals'
distribution and ecological niches. The cast of characters ranges from
familiar and charismatic species\, such as cave crayfish and gray bats\,
to rare and bizarre fauna\, such as blind salamanders and cave dung
beetles. More than 175 full-color illustrations include stunning\,
never-before-seen photographs (from the cameras of Dave Bunnel\, Tim
Ernst\, and Dante B. Fenolio\, among others)of cave animals--even some
newly discovered species. The authors also address conservation of
subterranean biodiversity\, discussing not only threats to cave life such
as invasive species\, resource extraction\, and habitat loss\, but also
current methods of preservation and protection\, including legislation\,
land acquisition\, people management\, and cave gates. The book's
appendices provide a comprehensive cave bibliography and checklists of
subterranean animals for each cave.
Michael E. Slay is Ozark Karst program director with the Ozark Highlands office of The Nature Conservancy. Dante B Fenolio is a photographer and amphibian conservation scientist with the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Conservation biologist G O Graening teaches at Clifornia State University Sacremento.

Civil rights activist Medgar Wiley Evers was well aware of the dangers
he would face when he challenged the status quo in Mississippi in the
1950s and '60s\, a place and time known for the brutal murders of Emmett
Till\, Reverend George Lee\, Lamar Smith\, and others. Nonetheless\, Evers
consistently investigated the rapes\, murders\, beatings\, and lynching's
of black Mississippians and reported the horrid incidents to a national
audience\, all the while organizing economic boycotts\, sit-ins\, and
street protests in Jackson as the NAACP's first full-time Mississippi
field secretary. He organized and participated in voting drives and
nonviolent direct-action protests\, joined lawsuits to overturn
state-supported school segregation\, and devoted himself to a career that
cost him his life.
This biography of a lesser-known but seminal civil rights leader draws on personal interviews from Myrlie Evers-Williams (Evers's widow)\, his two remaining siblings\, friends\, grade-school-to-college schoolmates\, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual\, leader\, husband\, brother\, and father. Extensive archival work in the Evers Papers\, the NAACP Papers\, oral history collections\, FBI files\, Citizen Council collections\, and the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission Papers\, to list a few\, provides a detailed account of Evers's NAACP work and a clearer understanding of the racist
environment that ultimately led to his murder.
Rose Bunch will be at Nightbird Books on Friday\, May 4th at 7pm. Rose Bunch\, PhD\, is a MacDowell Fellow\, Fulbright Scholar and native of Northwest Arkansas. Her work has recently appeared in Tin House as the New Voice in American Fiction\, New Letters (winner of the Dorothy Cappon Prize in Nonfiction)\, The Greensboro Review\, Poem\, Memoir\, Story\, River Styx\, Gulf Coast\, and Fugue. Her latest publication\, Speed Chronicles from Akashic Books\, is a short story collection comprised of 14 authors (including William T. Vollman and Sherman Alexie)\, concerning the effects of the methamphetamine industry on America.

Geoff will be with us to celebrate the release of his new book\, A Country Where All Colors are Sacred and Alive.
Many of us have experiences that point toward a more holistic\, interconnected Reality than we normally perceive. Episodes of telepathy\,
spontaneous healings\, confirmed intuitions\, precognition\, attunement to
nonphysical beings\, nonlocal awareness\, or communion with the natural world--all these can expand our understanding of what ispossible for us and remind us of an undivided spiritual dimension of ourselves.
"\;This memoir in prose and poetry is an account of my continuing education in such experiences\, which can empower us to step forward into more conscious\, collaborative relationships with the sentient energies of Nature. These sacred relationships can contribute to environmental harmony right now\, and may help downscale our climatic predicament in days to come."\;
— Geoffrey Oelsner
Expect A Miracle is the compelling story of a young girl growing up in the Deep South during the 1950's. The Arkansas Delta is fertile for plants\, but not so much for young girls. Marianne shares provocative memories of her upbringing in a middle class family caught up in the racial attitudes of the place and time. Ironically\, the person who matters most in Marianne's young life is her nanny\, who happens to be black. With unpretentious candor\, Marianne readily admits\, "\;I came from a family that looked good but felt bad."\;
Marianne Hooker holds a master's degree in social work and has practiced psychotherapy for 23 years. She was one of the pioneers of the Victim Assistance Program in Englewood\, Colorado and was featured on NBC's Today Show for her work in cluster suicide prevention. She has worked with homeless women and children\, addicts\, adolescent sex offenders\, victims of sociopaths\, and those in need of cult deprogramming.
