Founded in 1927, the “Prairie Schooner” originally was planned as an outlet for regional writing. Authors published in the magazine took it to publishers in New York City as an example of their work. Raz said the publishers were so impressed witn the quality of the journal that it gained instant noto riety. By 1930, the Schooner had national contributors and circula tion. Raz said the “Prairie Schooner’s” present goal is to showcase the best writing available and to en courage beginning writers. The “Prairie Schooner” is one of ’ the six oldest literary magazines in the country. It is published quar terly and has a circulation of 2,100 — an enormous circulation for a magazine of its type. Last year the magazine was honored among the top ten literary magazines by the “Literary Magazine Review.” The Schooner receives roughly 300 manuscripts per month. Of these, twelve stories, 175 poems and several articles, essays and translations are printed each year. Over the years the magazine has published works by many famous writers and early works of writers who later became famous. Tennes see Williams, Truman Capote, Eudora Welty and Joyce Carol Oates contributed early works. Several Pulitzer Prize winners in cluding last year’s winner Rita Dove and poet laureate Howard Nemerov have contributed. Writers contribute their work for recognition and competition. The "Prairie Schooner” doesn’t pay contributors, but awards prizes for the best works published. Raz sees her work with the Schooner as important to the com munity. "All I try to do at the Schooner is publish four times a year to enrich and enliven people’s lives,” she said. The support provided by the University Press and the English department is returned fully by the students, faculty and image the magazine brings UNL. Raz said she feels that Nebras kans are becoming more aware of the “Prairie Schooner,” which is good si nee it represents the stale so well.

Kooser continues to make his home in the country. He lives with his wife near Branched Oak Lake where he currently is working on his first novel. He is reluctant to talk about the as-of-yet untitled work, saying that discussing such unfinished ideas is “a bit like carry ing water to the garden in a straw hat - much of it ends u p not getting there.” Ever the poet. Nebraska roots benefit author’s poems, teaching By Kelly Anders Staff Reporter It makes sense that Judith Sornberger writes about the won ders of nature found in Nebraska: She grew up here. ‘The landscape, trees, birds, all that makes the environment what it is was imprinted in me early,” she said. "And it stayed with me when I moved away.” Sornberger, who is a professor of women’s studies at the Univer sity of Colorado at Boulder, has published poetry in books such as "A Joining Room,’’ and in maga zines including “Prairie Schooner” and "Laurel Review.” She edited "All My Grandmothers Could Sing," a book of poetry by Ne braska women authors. Sornberger, 37, said she started writing "mostly poetry” and short stories at age 9 because she en joyed working with words. "It wasn’t necessarily a need to write which got me started," she said. "I like playing with lan guage." As a teenager, she said, writing "became a venicle for self-expres sion." She attended Omaha Burke High School and wrote for the school newspaper. She later earned bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in English at the University orNebraska-Lincoln. Sornberger teaches, among other classes, Mothers and Daugh ters in Literature, Women s Jour nals and Diaries, and Women as Myth-Makers at Colorado.
