The restless West
Western writers, journalists, historians and
photographers will gather at Wallowa Lake in Oregon, July 8-10, to
take part in the Summer Fishtrap Gathering. This year's theme, "The
Restless West: World War II and After," brings together novelists
Ivan Doig and Sandra Scofield, historian Richard White, poet
Benjamin Saenz, essayist Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and others to
discuss the war's impact on the social and cultural fabric of the
West. Writing workshops with Marc Jaffe, Kim Stafford, Vivian
McInerny and others kick off the conference from July 4-7. For more
