The new NDSU Press book, Destiny Manifested, by Bonnie Larson Staiger, has been added to the Institute for Regional Studies book collection. The following comes from the NDSU Press website:
"Expansive, full of grace and wit, meditation and mourning, Staiger's poetry accomplishes the difficult task of rendering a true portrait of her home, leaving in the grit alongside the sunflowers, the grime beside the larkspurs."--Amie Whittenmore, Glass Harvest
"A sense of place defines this book. Staiger reminds us that history is the lived experience of people in a distinct place...where weather matters and...the cycle of seasons mirrors the cycles of life."--Kathleen Norris, Dakota: A Spiritual Geography
Bonnie Larson Staiger is the first recipient of our Voices of the Plains and Prairies Poetry Award.
