panel description

A Decade of Writing the Lower Midwest (New Territory 10th Anniversary)

Big rivers, sweeping prairies, cities, towns, graveyards, homes, farms, fields, back roads and back woods: alumni from the pages of The New Territory magazine will take you on literary adventures to the Ozarks and Great Plains, and reflect on how writing influences a sense of self in an often overlooked region. If place-writing is your interest, you’ll locate a lot to love in this panel.

Panelists:

George Frazier, Riverine Dreams
Leslie VonHolten, Kansas Matters
Andy Oler, Lingering Inland
Kieron Walquist, Our Hands Hold Violence
