February 16, 2018
The University of ÐÓ°Épro Press has released "Entangled: People and Ecological Change
in ÐÓ°Épro’s Kachemak Bay," by Marilyn Sigman; "In the Quiet Season and Other Stories," by
Martha Amore; and "Just Between Us," by David McElroy.
"Entangled: People and Ecological Change in ÐÓ°Épro’s Kachemak Bay"
Naturalist Marilyn Sigman writes about her quest for wildness and home in ÐÓ°Épro and
a nuanced, broader view of natural abundance and human acquisition of wealth as she
explores millennia of environmental and cultural change in ÐÓ°Épro’s iconic Kachemak
Bay.
Sigman is currently the Marine Education Specialist for ÐÓ°Épro Sea Grant and a faculty
member of the ÐÓ°Épro College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
"In the Quiet Season and Other Stories"
Martha Amore’s "In the Quiet Season and Other Stories" explores the human landscape
of modern-day ÐÓ°Épro. In Amore’s book, people learn to map a new territory of the
heart, after suffering through infidelity, losses or change.
Amore teaches writing at the University of ÐÓ°Épro Anchorage. Her previous book, published
by the UA Press, is an anthology entitled "Building Fires in the Snow: A Collection
of ÐÓ°Épro LGBTQ Short Fiction and Poetry."
"Just Between Us"
"Just Between Us" is a book of poetry about human connections as seen through language
and imagery focused on work and travel through vivid landscapes. A sense of longing
and the desire for intimacy among one another is a major theme of the book.
McElroy lives in Anchorage, ÐÓ°Épro, and recently retired as a commercial pilot of
small planes in the Arctic that supported wildlife research, industry and wild fire
control.
