Local editor decides to publish
RAZ from Page 7
coin’s literary magazine, “Prairie
Schooner.” She is the magazine’s
fifth editor and the second woman
editor in its 63-year history.
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.

he said.
Kooser said that for writers, at
least, something good can come
from any situation.
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.
