Memory of stories and sensory experience of a particular place at a particular time provide writers stabilizing and nurturing roots.

By Janne Goldbeck

"Warner Valley is the main staging ground for my imagination. We never earned much in the way of local and family history, but I know my own stories, and Warner is a landscape where the names of people are connected to things that happened around me, and what happened reminds me of where, and then we are back to the landscape and another round of connection."
