KENTUCKY BY DESIGN: THE DECORATIVE ARTS AND AMERICAN CULTURE is Now Available
by BWW News Desk - August 10, 2015
On August 29, 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, the Federal Art Project (FAP) opened its doors under the auspices of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA). The program's primary goals were to provide work for unemployed artists and to create narrative art for government buildings, such as post offices, courthouses, schools, libraries, and hospitals. In addition, the project was charged with training new artists in surveying and recording the history of American material culture. The research culminated in the Index of American Design, which sought to discover what was uniquely “American” in decorative arts. Thirty-seven states, including Kentucky, participated. Hundreds of artists produced illustrations of thousands of objects in museums and private collections, focusing on vernacular designs in utilitarian objects like furniture, textiles, pottery, and ironwork. TheIndex was intended for broad public distribution, but it was never published, leaving it little remembered today.

Green Darner Press to Release WWI Nurse's Trauma Memoir
by BWW News Desk - August 07, 2015
Kari Hock, Managing Editor of Seattle's Green Darner Press, has announced plans to release Gail Noble-Sanderson's 'The Lavender House in Meuse' in October of this year. The novel charts the post-war course of healing taken by a young nurse traumatized by her tragic experiences at the Front during World War I. 'This book will fill an important niche often overlooked in fiction and non-fiction: how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affected nurses in our First World War,' said Hock. 'Military nurses still suffer this syndrome, making the topic more relevant than ever.' 'Freedom seldom takes us where we thought we were going.' -The Lavender House in Meuse Set in France, 'The Lavender House in Meuse' traces the journey of Marie Durant Chagall from girlhood to adulthood; from her comfortable home in Marseille with her father and sister to the Front where she pursues her need for independence and service as a young woman; and finally to an inherited, rather isolated, country home by the Meuse River (surrounded by soothing lavender fields) where she seeks to heal, through solitude and nature, from trauma suffered in a bomb attack on her medical facility at The Front. She is not alone for long and soon finds herself caring for recovering soldiers in her new home while trying to process their pain and her own in this post-war setting. Although the novel will be categorized as 'Historical Fiction,' Noble-Sanderson has reason to believe the events actually happened, and the characters portrayed once lived. During a recent interview with book news blogger Marlan Warren (Roadmap Girl's Book Buzz), Noble-Sanderson stated: 'I believe all the characters, settings, dialogue and details are memories.' Noble-Sanderson went on to explain that she can be in the middle of traffic, watering her garden, doing laundry or fishing on a lake, and 'I will remember events, clearly 'hear' dialogue, and see the setting vividly in my mind.' The Seattle-based author added: 'I take advantage of those times when the flow of the story-the memories-are most vivid. Then I edit and hone the writing.' When asked if she intended the story to be 'anti-war,' Noble-Sanderson replied that acts of wartime atrocities always result in 'wounds and deaths of many sorts, and scars that continue to fester and alter the character of our lives in countless ways.' 'Ultimately I hope readers will come away with an expanded understanding of what life was like for nurses in World War I,' said Noble-Sanderson. 'And what the trauma of war can do to an individual, and to a nation, both culturally and emotionally.' For more info and the full interview: http://roadmapgirlsbookbuzz.blogspot.com Sanderson-Noble will present and sign 'The Lavender House in Meuse' at Village Books in Bellingham, Wash. in early November.
