February 20, 2008Here's another potentially good conference for Texas writers: "Writing a Wide Land: A Conference on Texas Nature Writing" is scheduled for April 11 at the University of North Texas in Denton. The symposium is designed to appeal to creative writers, journalists, scientists and those studying community outreach or environmental policy. Registration is free; but you must register by sending an e-mail to jdl0126@unt.edu. Robert Michael Pyle, author "Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide," the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies and many others will be keynote speaker. Organizer David Taylor (who has contributed to this blog in the past) passed along these bios of the other speakers:  Comments (2) Leave comment

Over on NewWest.net, editor Jenny Shank has a nice look at the Western classic "True Grit." (But Jenny, despite what you say in your Texas Pages-baiting intro to your "Western Book Roundup," nobody, not even this relocated Coloradoan, would ever, ever think of Denver as "the Big D." I don't care how many Texans have moved there. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously a mile high, or worse.) Comments (3) Leave comment
