      <image:title>Blog - Three Photographs by Roger Camp - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This photograph was modeled after Sir Issac Newton's discovery in 1665 that a light prism splits white light into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. A second prism nearby is reflecting that phenomena on its lateral face (or side). This image led me to spend the next two years experimenting with prismatic light.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Three Photographs by Roger Camp - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The industrial prisms I was using were approximately1" x 4". In order to suspend them in space I used wire and you can see some magnification and refraction in the surfaces. The prismatic light in the background is projected off of a prism set on a tripod underneath a skylight in an otherwise dark room.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the suggestion of stained glass artist friend I purchased some pyrex glass rods which are used in laboratories to stir chemicals. I drilled holes in a two by four to hold the rods upright and used a white backdrop and projected the prismatic light through them onto the background. You can see that they reacted to the light very differently from the prisms in Light Music 8 &amp; 42. The faint blue lines in the background is light reflected on the backdrop</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I. I could fill a dozen jars with the callouses I trim from my feet. Thick like my father’s, I cut them with scissors like he did. They pile on the bed like orange peels dried and hard to the touch. Or insect husks. Those dead miller moths from that haunted spring when nights made leaves fly, when news announcers spoke of migration and mass invasion, a month of darkened porchlights, of moth dust in night sky, each open doorway a fly trap. We’d find the moths later tucked along windowsills, so many they filled my palms; in death, their empty husks now hollow to the touch. II. Once, when you cut my hair, a strand dug itself into the top of your foot, curving like a snake as if I’d branded you. Our eyes widened as you pulled it out, slowly, like one might tug a loose thread. I imagine it sealed inside two pieces of laminate, a silent reminder to watch what we shed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What Will Become of Me by Samantha Tetangco</image:title>
      <image:caption>III. And yes, we’d learned this lesson: in the early days, nights in your bed, ears to your back. Dust so thick our lungs grew heavy with filtered sand. Scientists say cells are Born in our deepest layers; we take six weeks to rise then shed. How had we not known what it meant to breathe you in? IV. The human body weighs less in the moments after death. Or so says the scientist seeking proof of the soul. When my father passed, we gathered to watch the final rise and fall of his chest. Here in the land of the living, our bodies shed. So, too, must it be with the dead: the final breath. The lifting of the soul, the empty husk, the measurement of before then after, more then less. So even in dying, we are somehow able to speak. If only those bearing witness knew how to listen.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Pos Moua</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pos Moua published his first collection of poetry, the chapbook Where the Torches are Burning (Swan Scythe Press) in 2001. His second collection of poetry was recently released, a full length book entitled Karst Mountains Will Bloom (Blue Oak Press, 2019). His poetry explores the depths of love and grief, the natural and spiritual worlds, the body and the soul. Karst Mountains Will Bloom has been described as “a landmark achievement: ascendant, transcendent, visionary” by Fresno Poet Laureate Lee Herrick. Poet Mai Der Vang, author of Afterland and winner of the 2016 Walt Whitman Award, says that Pos Moua has given readers “radiant language and natural eloquence… the dark and light of his heartscape.” A poet of great grace and honesty, Pos Moua is a pioneer of Hmong American literature and a true visionary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview With Sarah Borjas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Juan Felipe Herrera has said of Sara Borjas’ first book, Heart Like a Window, Mouth Like a Cliff, “This is a groundbreaker. Good-bye to fashionable old stuff, adios to the graspable that can never be touched. Come to the fearless. A brava-shaking collection.” It has been referred to as autobiographical, but it is more a consideration of the speaker’s identity, place, loss, love, and perseverance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Patricia Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Patricia Smith is an award-winning poet on and off the page – author of eight books of poetry, including Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, winner of the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets, and Blood Dazzler, a National Book Award finalist, and she’s also a four-time National Poetry Slam champion. But what always remains at the center of her work is the fact that Smith is a storyteller. She’s able to situate and fully immerse readers that we bear witness to the most complicated of circumstances with every fiber of our beings, and this craft is mastered and beautifully exhibited in her newest collection. Winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Award, an NAACP Image award, an LA Times Book Prize, and a finalist for the Pulitzer prize, Incendiary Art has us bear witness to rage, grief, violence, loss, and the fire of resistance through imagery packed with particulars and description and lines that are equally as dense as they are musical, and we always remain aware of our bodies for the adventure that is the collection, feeling such charged emotion from the very first poem all the way through to the end. Smith was available to answer some questions about her award-winning book in advance of her reading at Fresno State on Tuesday, March 5th 2019 in the Alice Peters Auditorium. She responded through email and wrote about the audience for Incendiary Art, the undercurrent of the collection, and her attempts to balance topics both heavy and light.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal School Interview with Lee Herrick</image:title>
      <image:caption>Beauty and violence. Despair and hope. Racism and tolerance. Some might reference these words, aligned alongside one another, as juxtaposition. Others might label this a power move. I would clarify that, when used by Lee Herrick, it is life-altering and, in his third book, Scar and Flower (Word Poetry Press, 2019), Herrick delivers just that. He approaches prose with passion, a vengeance against social injustice, but also with subtlety and elegance. In his opening poem, “Dear _______,”; ...I saw my daughter cradle the broken body of a tiny bird. I saw a young poet repair the broken charm of a younger poet... Herrick’s work pushes a shifting lens, a way to see the world through more than one filter, affording an opportunity to compare, contrast, and uncover the coexistence of duplicities within life in a way that pauses breath and ceases a moment. In a way that alters the view forever. In a way that matters most. I had the honor of interviewing Lee Herrick about his writing processes, his influences, and his works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - An Interview with Sarah Fawn Montgomery</image:title>
      <image:caption>Quite Mad: An American Pharma Memoir brilliantly blends author Sarah Fawn Montgomery’s own experiences with mental illness with research about the history of mental illness (and treatments) in the United States and interrogation of the gendered stigma surrounding mental health. I recently had the chance to talk with Montgomery about the process of writing and publishing the book—due out from Mad Creek Books this fall—as well as why we read and write creative nonfiction and the ways that nonlinearity and memory often go hand-in-hand.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Relationships built strong through the bonds of love and music, inspiration instilled from travel, and fragile beauty only found through loss are just a few of the many rooms inside the gallery of Jericho Parms' Lost Wax (University of Georgia Press). It is an exquisite exploration into her journey from childhood to adulthood as a woman of color living in the United States. Jericho's writings have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, noted in Best American Essays, and anthologized in Brief Encounters: A Collection of Contemporary Nonfiction. Her essay "Still Life with Chair" was previously published in The Normal School.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Christine Hyung-Oak Lee</image:title>
      <image:caption>It all began with a headache. Not a stranger to migraines, though, Christine Hyung-Oak Lee thought nothing of it until, a few hours later, she literally couldn’t see straight and, eventually, lost the ability to communicate; her speech limited to short sentences. This was New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2006. A few days later, Lee was taken into John Muir Medical Center, where it was confirmed that she had had a stroke. Lee was just 33-years-old. Lee recreates that night and the harrowing days, months, and years that followed in her debut memoir, Tell Me Everything You Don’t Remember. Ahead of her appearance at last weekend’s WordFest, which was hosted, in part, by The Normal School, Lee and staffer Mary Pickett chatted via email about sharing trauma, the realities of letting your work go, and getting the most out of your writing experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Jon Kerstetter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jon Kerstetter’s memoir, Crossings: A Doctor-Soldier’s Story, offers a new and empathetic perspective to the ever-growing body of work exploring our forever wars. While the book centers on Kerstetter’s experiences in Iraq, Crossings moves far beyond war stories. With a physician’s precision and skill, he illuminates his personal crossings—civilian to doctor to soldier to patient to writer—and challenges us to investigate our own transitions. In this examination of a compelling life, he takes us on a journey that delves into liminal places at the core of our humanity. Kerstetter and I have walked some of the same ground in Iraq, and as a husband, father, veteran, reader, and writer, I found much to admire in Crossings. This is an important and gripping book that chronicles the costs of war and how family, love, art, and tenacity can bring hope, healing, and redemption. Kerstetter’s name first appeared in The Normal School’s pages when he won the 2014 Normal School Nonfiction Prize with his essay, “Learning to Breath,” which eventually became Crossings’ prologue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Bich Minh “Beth” Nguyen</image:title>
      <image:caption>In regular life, Bich Minh Nguyen goes by the name Beth. She is the author of three books, all with Viking Penguin. Stealing Buddha's Dinner, a memoir, received the PEN/Jerard Award from the PEN American Center and was a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year. It has been featured as a common read selection within numerous communities, schools, and universities. Short Girls, a novel, was an American Book Award winner in fiction and a Library Journal best book of the year. Her most recent novel, Pioneer Girl, is about the mysterious ties between a Vietnamese immigrant family and Laura Ingalls Wilder. Nguyen has been a Bread Loaf Fellow, among other honors, and her work has appeared in anthologies and publications including The New York Times. She is at work on a series of essays about high school, music, and the Midwest, called Owner of a Lonely Heart.

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Lina María Ferreira Cabeza-Vanegas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lina María Ferreira Cabeza-Vanegas will be visiting the CSU, Fresno campus for a reading event sponsored by The Normal School on November 16th at 7:00 pm in the Alice Peters Auditorium. The Drown Sever Sing author’s newest book, Don’t Come Back offers readers a lyrical introduction to Muisca mythology and a narrative account of the surreal violence inherent in Colombian drug culture in the nineties. L.F. is a translator of the untranslatable, and a teller of tales of the people at risk of being willfully ignored. She is a keen observer and narrator, who interrogates her familial and cultural histories through the lens of experience as an immigrant, at times feverishly swaying in the negative space outside of protocol and belonging.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Kristen Radtke</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kristen Radtke is a writer, artist and editor whose graphic memoir, Imagine Wanting Only This, has just recently been released by Pantheon Books. Her debut book boldly explores the all too human experiences of loss, family, and adventure. Radtke uses visual art in a way that hasn’t been seen too often in memoir, and the end result is remarkable. Her illustrations bring vivacity to the story that pull the reader even closer to her powerful prose. The graphics and the narrative work together seamlessly to present an imaginative and refreshing memoir.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Joe Bonomo’s new essay collection, Field Recordings from the Inside, is part music writing, part memoir. In these wise and witty pieces, he examines the ways in which songs he loves have shaped and ordered his life. In doing so, Bonomo reminds us that listening to rock and roll isn’t a passive exercise. Our favorite songs mark us; they become part of our identity. And we mark our favorite songs by leaving our impressions on them—deepening the groove in the vinyl, wearing out the cassette tape.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Biljana D Obradovic</image:title>
      <image:caption>Released at the end of 2016, Incognito is a poetry collection that chronicles the life and hardships of Dr. Biljana D. Obradović. Written in something of an autobiographical form as opposed to a traditional collection, the work details the ups and downs of what it means to be a true transnational citizen of the world. In February, Fresno State MFA candidate Chris Galvan spoke with Obradović about Incognito, post-NATO action in Eastern Europe, the events of the post-9/11 America from an immigrant’s view, and what it means to survive the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Andrea Jurjevic</image:title>
      <image:caption>Andrea Jurjević’s debut collection of poetry, Small Crimes, won the 2015 Philip Levine Prize for Poetry and it was released by Anhinga Press this past January. The collection begins in the author’s native Croatia in the 1990s, in the midst of the Croatian War of Independence. The poems paint unflinching portraits of the war, as Jurjević crafts a poignant, moving, and compelling collection. The manuscript then shifts to the United States, a contrast to Croatia, but equally fraught, dark, and beautiful. Small Crimes is a compelling testimony of immigration, the human cost of war, and love. In late January, Fresno State MFA candidate Tricia Savelli spoke with Jurjević about Small Crimes, the creative process, and where poetry fits in the current climate in the United States today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Out from the Shadows: A Normal Interview with José Orduña</image:title>
      <image:caption>Released in 2016 by Beacon Press, The Weight of Shadows: A Memoir of Immigration and Displacement follows José Orduña through the Naturalization process as he becomes a United States citizen. While weighing in on one of the most contentious issues on the American political spectrum, Orduña weaves his way through the intricacies of American immigration policy. His journey explores the displacement and disillusion under which illegal immigrants live with thought-provoking turns and plenty of research. The sobering realities of American immigration policy are brought to the surface with exacting clarity for anyone wanting to know more about a complicated issue. The Weight of Shadows: A Memoir of Immigration and Displacement comes across as a well-timed study on immigration in a political season and presidential election that few people in America are likely to soon forget.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Daniel Chacon</image:title>
      <image:caption>Emerging from the anything-but-normal landscape of Fresno, California, Daniel Chacón writes from an imagination steeped in family, death, wormholes, Paris, and the sacredness of syntax. The author of Chicano Chicanery, Unending Rooms: Stories, Hotel Juarez: Stories, Rooms and Loops, and the novel, And the Shadows Took Him, Chacón’s fiction resists the narrative arc in favor of form that’s conducive to the artist’s impulse, the yearning of characters, and the cyclical nature of writing itself. His newest novel, The Cholo Tree, will be released in 2017. On April 11, Normal Senior Associate Fiction Editor, Monique Quintana met with Chacón in Fresno’s Tower District to talk about his continuous book, among other things.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Christine Poreba</image:title>
      <image:caption>Newly released from Anhinga Press, Christine Poreba’s poetry collection Rough Knowledge has been called a sweet and deeply thoughtful celebration of love, marriage, family, and friends. Her debut book won the 2014 Philip Levine Prize for Poetry contest, and final judge Peter Everwine called her poetry “a beautifully sustained and often surprising art of connections that takes nothing for granted.” Her work has appeared in numerous publications and anthologies, including The Sun Magazine, The Southern Review, Subtropics, and The Pinch. Christine will visit The Normal School staff and California State University, Fresno on Friday, Feb. 26 for a reading and book signing in the Alice Peters Auditorium on campus at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Wendy C. Ortiz</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hollywood Notebook is a prose-poem memoir that bends the creative nonfiction genre. Initially started by author Wendy C. Ortiz as blog called Lab of Lux in the early 2000s, Hollywood Notebook meditates on the mundane, explores struggles of the working class, and ruminates on love and friendships. Ortiz’s memoir is a look into your forgotten twenties; her prose whisks you back in time, to a time where moments slow down and everything in life seems possible. Ortiz is also the author of the 2014 memoir Excavation and she wrote the year-long monthly column “On the Trail of Mary Jane” about medical marijuana dispensary culture in Southern California for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Normal Interview with Myriam Gurba</image:title>
      <image:caption>Newly released from Manic D Press, Myriam Gurba’s short-story collection How Some Abuelitas Keep Their Chicana Granddaughters Still While Painting Their Portraits in Winter reads like a darkly comic kaleidoscope of children, monsters, violence, and cross-border feminism. The interconnected stories lure readers into the recesses of neo-gothic landscapes, both real and imagined. Gurba is also the author of Dahlia Season and the poetry collections Wish You Were Me and Sweatsuits of the Damned.</image:caption>
