<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>IN Writing makes visible the unexpected bonds between Indiana and the world at large.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fueled by an insider's view of Indiana and the state's often surprising connections to the larger world, <i>IN Writing </i>is revelatory. It is Indiana in all its glory: sacred and profane; saints and sinners; war and peace; small towns and big cities; art, architecture, poetry and victuals. It's about Hoosier talent and Hoosier genius: the courageous farmer-soldiers who ardently try to win the hearts and minds of 21st century Afghan insurgents; the artisans whose work pulses with the aesthetics of far-away homelands; and the famous modernist poet who had to leave to make his mark. It's about places that speak to a wider world: Columbus and its remarkable architecture; New Harmony and its enduring idealism; Indianapolis and its world-renowned Crown Hill cemetery. <i>IN Writing</i> makes visible the unexpected bonds between Indiana and the world at large.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A compilation of quirky, well-crafted essays...</p>-- "Indianapolis Star"<br><br><p>As a born Hoosier, he knows Indiana extremely well, as this wide-ranging compilation of his journalism shows.
