Buzz Kill - Alcala - Leising

• Novella Carpenter has another story about her skills at animal husbandary on Salon.com: Buzz Kill."Preparing my back-porch beehive is my favorite rite of spring, but this year my flock mysteriously went missing. I'll miss more than just the honey."

• The University of Arizona Press has just released Kathleen Alcala's first collection of essays, The Desert Remembers My Name Check out her web site for a list of upcoming readings.

Her essay on the Opata peoples of Mexico is fascinating, and in another essay, she masterfully blends the harrowing experience of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five young children, with the mythic stories of Mexican folklore."
