Award-winning, amiable journalist Hill Williams began his career at the Kennewick Courier-Reporter in 1948 and later became a science writer for the Seattle Times. Now, after decades spent reporting Northwest news, he transforms his most memorable and favorite stories into inviting, candid narratives. He writes about Hanford, a Coast Guard officer¿s heroism, whale-hunting in canoes, studying salmon at the University of Washington, and a famous dog-sled run. He recounts growing up on the dry side of Washington during the 1930s and 1940s and working before computers were ubiquitous. He reminisces about the flooding of Celilo Falls, the Columbia Irrigation Project, a nuclear test in Nevada, Mount St. Helens, and a mysterious chunk of earth in the middle of the scablands. "Writing the Northwest" is his third--and most personal--title with Washington State University Press.

Spanning 200 years, Northwest Passages brings together thoughts on the region and its people from such notable writers and personalities as George Vancouver, Chief Seattle, Rudyard Kipling, Raymond Carver, Mary McCarthy, Jack Kerouac, and Sallie Tisdale. Northwesterners, surmises editor Bruce Barcott, are loners and individualists. The lives and writings of these people are inextricably tied to the land and its natural forces. Through historical and contemporary fiction, essays, poetry, and journals, Northwest Passages reveals the underlying spirit that shapes the Northwest identity, and the beauty of both its inner and outer landscapes.

Download Dispatches from Anarres: Tales in Tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Named for the anarchist utopia in Ursula K. Le Guin’s science fiction classic The Dispossessed, Dispatches from Anarres embodies the anarchic spirit of Le Guin’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, while paying tribute to her enduring vision. In stories that range from fantasy to sci fi to realism, some of Portland's most vital voices have come together to celebrate Le Guin’s lasting legacy and influence on that most subversive of human faculties: the imagination. Fonda Lee’s “Old Souls” explores the role of violence and redemption across time and space; Rachael K. Jones’s “The Night Bazaar for Women Turning into Reptiles” touches on gender oppression and a woman’s right to choose; Molly Gloss’s “Wenonah’s Gift” imagines coming-of-age in a post-collapse culture determined to avoid past wrongs; and Lidia Yuknavitch’s “Neuron” reveals that fairy tales may, in fact, be the best way to understand the paradoxes of science. Other contributors include Curtis Chen, Kesha Ajọsẹ-Fisher, Juhea Kim, Tina Connolly, David D. Levine, Leni Zumas, Rene Denfeld, and Michelle Ruiz Keil, with a foreword by David Naimon, co-author (with Le Guin) of Ursula K. Le Guin: Conversations on Writing.

"The story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, the eccentric and remote sister of their dead mother. The family house is in the small town of Fingerbone on a glacial lake in the Far West, the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck and their mother drove off a cliff to her death. It is a town "chastened by an outsized landscape and extravagant weather, and chastened again by an awareness that the whole of human history had occurred elsewhere." Ruth and Lucille's struggle toward adulthood beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous and deep undertow of transience."--
