The Rural America Writers’ Center
celebrates a new publication of the Green Blade
A yearly publication showcasing the talents
of the
Writers’ Center’s members.
Comments about the Winter 2008 - 2009 edition:
Kirsten Dierking, The writing in the Green Blade is beautifully crafted—yet what stays with the reader most powerfully is the fearlessness of diverse voices that never flinch from saying something real and true and affecting.
Joyce Sutphen, the Green Blade is in the Whitman tradition— it contains multitudes! Inside of its handsomely bound covers, the reader will find generous selections of prose and poetry by familiar and new voices. Whether the writer is heading down 35W from Minneapolis or releasing home-grown quail near Rochester, the Green Blade brings us stories and words with a rural soul.

If you are a writer, or thinking of becoming one,

Open to participants of all skill levels, the Writers’ Center
offers
classes and workshops led by noted regional authors, and designed to help improve writing skills in both prose and poetry. Monthly “open mic” sessions held every third Wednesday offer writers the opportunity to read their works in a public setting.
The editorial staff of the Green Blade includes General Editors
Rita Hawes and Kevin Rafferty. The staffs promise is to honor the diversity of the participants, and yet the closeness of all to the land
of Southeastern Minnesota, centered around Plainview, the organization’s home. |
