  • Acclaimed Author McElroy to Read at WCU by Mary Adams Professor of English On Monday, March 20, at 7:30pm in the Grandroom of the WCU Student Center, prominent African-American poet, essayist, and novelist Colleen McElroy will read her work. This event is sponsored by WCU's Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions, and by the Visiting Writers Series. McElroy, whose most recent works are "Travelling Music (poems) and "Over the Lip of the World: Among Storytellers of Madagascar," will sign copies of her book, available from City Lights Books, after the reading. McElroy is the author of "Driving Under the Card- ^ board Pines: And Other Stories," "A Long Way from St. Louie: Travel Memoirs," "Trav eling Music (Poems)," "Bone Flames: Poems," "Jesus and Fat Tuesday: And Other Short Stories," "Queen of the Ebony Isles," "Win ters Without Snow," "Music from Home: Selected Poems," and "What Madness Brought Me Here: New and Selected Poems, 1968-1988." She has received the Before Columbus American Book Award, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, two Fulbright Creative Writing Fellow ships, a Jesse Ball DuPont Distinguished Black Scholar Fellowship, and a Pushcart Prize, to name only a few of her honors. Of her latest collection of poems, 'Travelling Music, " one reviewer has said, "Colleen McElroy is back and better than ever... Based on her journeys, both physical and cerebral, 'Travelling Music' eloquently showcases McElroy's grace, her unbending vision, and her sassiness, encrypted within language's lyrical sound." The first poem, "Under Skies with No Views," explains an experienced traveler's credo, wherein "all memory is dicey at the border," and the final frontier in adventure is to "let yourself wander off the page nto sweet / sleep where you dream beautiful oceans / and water that desires nothing for itself." Her edgy humor permeates the poem "There's an Obi in the Dishwasher (and Other Useful Japanese Phrases)": In "The End of Civilization As We Know It," McElroy laments the passing of "a time when the camera's whir and Tarzan's / yell filled the space." And, because this collection is vintage McElroy, her irony often turns sharp. She speaks of crows that fled the scene with "payment for a ghetto full of stolen / Brer Rabbits and Aunt Nancys, / Words you invented each night." She envisions the prairie past, "how wives swallow dry prairie grass / Eating like songs its madness." McElroy is also a eel ebrated essayist. Her purpose was to study the oral traditions of the native tongue, Malagasy. The extraordinary "Over the Lip of the World" is the result of her journey to Madagascar on a Fulbright to study the oral traditions of the native tongue, Malagasy. Part scholarly study, part compen dium of stories, part travelogue, the narrative discovers its own way as it goes, and McElroy honors the people and their traditions by keeping both at the center of this account. McElroy, the great-granddaughter of African descendants who survived diaspora on American soil, found herself accepted by the people she visited, sometimes even mistaken for a native. Yet she is both participant and observer, taking nothing for granted, and the wonder of her experiences comes across in language as poetic as her best verse: "The neighborhood children were transfixed as the sto ries turned into a play of light and shadows, and Monsieur Soaraza's elegant gestures brought the legends onto the portico of the Cultural Minister, holding them there like the old French car - seemingly too wide to be contained in such a small space, and almost too enigmatic to be explained." More than mere travelogue, her collection of impressionistic story-poems and essays entitled "A Long Way from Saint Louie" reflects McElroy's particular perspective as an African American abroad. The color of her skin sometimes serves as a passport into cultures which white Americans might be less privy. On the other hand, returning home is not always a piece of cake, as she details in a piece called "How Not to Cross the Border," which is funny, alarming and depressing by turns. McElroy is the fifth writer in this year's Visiting Writers Series, which features local, national, and international writers from many cultures. This year's final event will feature internationally acclaimed Native American writer Leslie Marmon Silko on Monday, April 3, at 7:30pm in the Grandroom of WCU's Student Center. Medical Magazine Published by Local Residents by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Maggie Valley residents Tom and Sue Knapko will soon be publishing the Western Carolina version ot'M.D. News, a business and lifestyle magazine aimed at the medical community in the area. M.D. News was started in Phoenix, AZ, by Sunshine Media, Inc. The Western Carolina version is joining nearly 50 other locally published versions across the nation. The Knapkos are the local publishers for Western North Carolina, and are thus responsible for the hiring of writers and photographers and for the selling of local ads. Afterward, all material is sent to Phoenix to be printed and mailed. Editorials and features will focus on issues that affect local physicians and health care providers. These include stories on medical advancements, such as new medicines, providing information on health care, business trends and other related areas. Cover stories will highlight well- respected local physicians who are involved in ground-breaking studies and experiments. Features will include reports on those interesting and ground-breaking studies, and how they are expected to affect the future of health care and medicine. The magazine isn't limited to medical related issues. Other topics include articles on cars, food, vacations, and other leisure time activities. Each issue is limited to 3,000 copies, which are directly mailed to physicians and hospital Tom and Sue Knapko management. M.D. News is a professionally-specific magazine, so extra copies are not available to medical students or interested members of the public. Articles are contributed to the publication by business profes sionals who are highly regarded by the medical community. Each is written locally and about a local resident. For example, the M.D. News of Phoenix will not run a story dealing with a prominent doctor in Western North Carolina. Not that the doctor in Western North Carolina isn't worthy of being featured, but M.D. News is a area-specific publication. Other versions ot'M.D. News are extremely popular with medical professionals and health care workers. "They are compelled to read it because the stories and articles are about their colleagues, competitors and local marketplace," said Knapko. The publication gives professionals an insight on the goings-on of their local medical community, the high lights of a col league's experiment, or the successful solving of an ongoing enigma. This way, medical professionals stay connected with each other to help better help those who matter most, the public. The Knapkos are well-respected members of the community and have a diverse background that gives them an advantage in publishing a community- specific publication. Tom Knapko worked in the banking field and managed many Chamber of Commerce organizations. Sue Knapko's career has involved vocational technical education; she was the director at a post secondary vocational center. Both are involved in community groups such as the Literacy Council, Rotary Club, Hospice and many others.
