A bit about these Vermont authors:
Rick Winston grew up in Yonkers, New York, attended both Columbia University and University of California, Berkeley, and arrived in Adamant, Vermont, in 1970, where he still lives. In 1981 he cofounded Montpelier's own Savoy Theater. He now teaches film and presents programs on film history. His parents (New York City school teachers) were both affected during the Red Scare years, and his long-standing interest in that era led him to become one of the organizers of the 1988 Montpelier conference, "Vermont in the McCarthy Era," and to write "Red Scare in the Green Mountains: Vermont in the McCarthy Era," which JUST won the Richard O. Hathaway Award for 2018, given by the Vermont Historical Society.
Elizabeth A. I. Powell is the author of two poetry collections, "The Republic of Self" and "Willy Loman's Reckless Daughter: Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances," which won the 2015 Anhinga-Robert Dana Prize for Poetry and was named a "Books We Love 2016" by The New Yorker. Her next book, "Atomizer," a poetry/hybrid lyric essay collection, is forthcoming from LSU Press in 2020.
Widely published in literary journals and elsewhere, Powell is Editor of Green Mountains Review and Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Northern Vermont University; she also serves on the faculty of the low-residency MFA in Creative Writing program at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
