1. Hello, the new Sierra Club national magazine lists "good reads" I would like to put together a listing of books for our own state newsletter that was made up of good "Iowa" books (or Upper Midwest books) that those of us have found vital: local writers, topics .... Please respond with your ideas to [log in to unmask] and I will compile the list and then submit it to the Sierra newsletter here in eastern Iowa which then gets included in the state mailing. 2. Secondly, I am curious if anybody would be interested in doing a nature writing retreat sometime this year if I plan one at a park setting this year.
