You are cordially invited to become a member of the Great River Arts Institute. Developing our outreach programs to the regional high schools in the visual and literary arts, including the Keene, Fall Mountain, Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Chester, and Springfield townships. We have given significant scholarships every year in virtually every program. As we begin to offer programs specifically designed for students, this is ever more important. Though I say this, nobody believes me.
Mountains sleep only for a little while That once have been active in flames.
But even if you forgot it, Just believe, people, That all the women who slept Now awake and move. While we have published well-known authors Sherman Alexie, Robert Bly, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Allen Ginsberg, Diane Glancy, Ursula K. Le Guin, Marge Piercy, Adrienne Rich, and Luis Urrea, we are proudest of the writers and artists we have supported whose names you may not recognize. Unlike many literary journals, we seek out new writers that usually remain in the shadows of mainstream culture. We hope to introduce our readers to people and terrain they might not otherwise visit, to bring you new voices and ways of seeing the world we all pass through but experience so differently. Poems from Many Mountains Moving have been reprinted in the prestigious anthologies Pushcart Prize and Best American Poetry.
