Description
Book SynopsisIn 1988, Timothy Fay published the very first issue of the
Wapsipinicon Almanac at his Route 3 Press in Anamosa, Iowa. Fay’s goal was to offer a journal somewhat outside of mainstream Iowa journalism. For thirty years, the annual
Wapsipinicon Almanac entertained midwestern readers with timely essays, works of fiction, news notes, art, poetry, and so much more. This book celebrates selections from three decades of the
WapsipiniconAlmanac, so that readers can enjoy this important regional publication for years to come.
Trade Review“I looked forward to each issue of the
Wapsipinicon Almanac as a work of art, not only for the talented writers included but for the layout, design, and the ads. And you will look forward to the turn of every page in this book, a collector’s item of a rich and varied literary history in the Midwest."—Mary Swander, former Poet Laureate of Iowa
"Don’t have a stack of issues containing Tim Fay’s thirty years of essays, art, and advertisements, printed on the original
Wapsipinicon Almanac letterpress? Read some of the best here. They show you a bit of Tim Fay’s gift to us."—David Osterberg, University of Iowa
