We'd love your feedback and suggestions regarding library programming. Take the survey at https://dpl.pub/survey2023.

As the culminating project in their Digital Humanities course, students in the Creative Writing MFA at OSU-Cascades have teamed up with local writers and artists to create a web-based project that exemplifies the Library’s spring theme.

After inviting local creators to submit writing and media that relates in some way to flora and fauna, OSU Cascades students incorporated that work into a “digital ecosystem” which exemplifies and celebrates connections and interdependencies. The program will include an unveiling of the site and readings from contributors. For more information, please visit digitalcascades.net.

This project is led by MFA Instructor Christopher Boucher. Boucher is the author of the novels How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, Golden Delicious and Big Giant Floating Head, all out from Melville House. His digital work has been featured on Electric Literature and The Rumpus, and at the Electronic Literature Conferences in Montreal and Cork, Ireland.
