The
Hulbert Center Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new
book celebrating the tenth anniversary of Poetry West retreats at the
Baca Grande campus located in the San Luis Valley near the town of
Crestone. The Baca campus is operated by the Hulbert Center for
Southwestern Studies. Each year, poets involved in Poetry West meet at
the Baca for a few days of writing and renewal. The landscape provides a
beautiful inspiration, and the anthology celebrates both poetry and
place. This small collection exemplifies the blessings of the Baca and
this wonderful area where poets discover what it means to speak. Edited
by Sandra McNew and David Mason, this collection features the works of
Rebecca Laroche, Jane Wampler, Clark W. Smith, Beth Ann Bassein, Gail
Waldstein, Anita Jepson Gilbert, Ron Noel, Liz Lewis, Price Strobridge,
Lara Adams Gaydos, Jenn Koiter, Lois Beebe Hayna, Janice Hays, and Hal
Gimpelson. The cover portrays the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
The February Aficionados luncheon will feature the poets who
contributed, and we will have copies for sale after the lunch.

Modern
at Mid-Century: The Early Fifties |

"Freed's book is a tribute to the
work of two remarkable architects; in addition, it provides intelligent
insight into the architectural climate of the mid-twentieth
century. It tells us that the history of architecture of that
period includes much more than the work of a few well-known designers,
and that, in spite of what contemporary critics seem to think, the
architectural scene was as rich and complex as that of any other
time."–Wim de Wit, The Getty Research Institute In Modern at Mid-Century, Elaine Freed features four of the Ingraham's Usonian-style houses from the early 1950s. Through site visits and interviews, Freed captures the experience of building and living in the Frank Lloyd Wright idiom as practiced by the Ingrahams. This book is a must for lovers of Colorado Springs history. Price: $22.95 |

around a campfire late at night."–Mary Jane Massey Rust

Drawn from both historical and contemporary sources, the photos and accompanying texts tell a fascinating series of tales of the region, emphasizing the characters, settings, origins, and events that make southern Colorado so historically rich.

This essay outlines the physical
and cultural geography of the San Luis Valley and provides two road
logs; one traverses the northern part of the valley, while the other
explores the central and southern parts of the region. The authors are
both professors of geography at the University of Colorado-Colorado
Springs. They employ an interdisciplinary approach, integrating
information from the natural and social sciences, and drawing on their
experience teaching field-based courses on the Southwest at both UCCS
and Colorado College. The book discusses the geology, climate, flora and
fauna, and water sources in the valley and presents a sketch of the
human history, from prehistoric peoples to the present.
