Podcasts about limberlost

In this episode, we have a conversation with award-winning author, Robbie Arnott. Be it The Rain Heron, Limberlost or Flames, Arnott's highly regarded and very successful novels have captivated readers, and his newest book, Dusk, is no different. In the distant Tasmanian highlands, a puma named Dusk is killing shepherds. Down in the lowlands, twins Iris and Floyd are out of work, money and friends. When they hear that a bounty has been placed on Dusk, they reluctantly decide to join the hunt. As they journey up into this wild, haunted country, they discover there's far more to the land and people of the highlands than they imagined. And as they close in on their prey, they're forced to reckon with conflicts both ancient and deeply personal.

From the acclaimed author of Limberlost comes this new epic quest in a through-the-looking-glass Van Deiman's Land, undertaken by the outcast children of notorious convicts, to find and kill a man-eating big cat named Dusk.

Robbie Arnott discusses with Greg Johnston the many intricacies of writing the novel Limberlost, based on his family folklore and longlisted for the 2023 ARA Historical Novel Prize—Adult Category.  

Fair warning, this episode is ALL over the place!  You will laugh and maybe cringe at my faux pas. You might cry with me at the end of the episode, and you'll definitely learn about a lot of great books. In this episode I get to talk to my dear friend Elsie Iudicello.  Elsie is a wife to my friend Jeff, and mom to 4 boys. Elsie lives in Florida where she is a farmer, a writer, a reader, a cook, and one of the most compelling and hilarious speakers I have ever the pleasure of hearing.  Here are some highlights from our conversation: *Elsie tells me she loves old movies but also loves natural disaster movies. *Well, only one really. The movie Twister. For an interesting reason! *This is when I suggest another movie Elsie might like but that doesn't actually exist and if it did, you might see it behind the curtain at Blockbuster. Enjoy the laughter that ensues. I'm never going to live this one down. *Elsie shares: “books bonded us in the beginning because we got to go play in different worlds together, and that has sustained us in the teen years. *We can meet on the bridge of a story. *Kids want a book where the author isn't talking down to them. That doesn't preach at them or sanitize everything. *Reading biographies and especially missionary biographies are so good for our kids to read. *Give them books about people stepping out of their comfortable worlds. Read those things into their hearts! * I want my kids to get to know people who have had to fight for their faith. * Parents need to be readers too. Because this statistic is true and makes my heart sad. “roughly a quarter of American adults say they haven't read a book in whole or in part in the past year in print, electronic or even in audio form”. *”Don't be in such a hurry to read the great books that you miss the good books.” Cindy Rawlins *On re-reading books: “I would rather be friends with 40 or 50 good dear books than read all the books in the world once.” *Find Elsie on Instagram at Farmhouse Schoolhouse  Here's a list of all the books we mention in this episode: Ourselves by Charlotte Mason The Emperor's Handbook by Marcus Aurelius The Good Master by Kate Seredy Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit Little Britches by Ralph Moody Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Green Ember by S. D. Smith Wing Feather Saga by Andrew Peterson The Mad Scientist Club by Bertrand Brinley The Great Brain by John D Fitzgerald Homer Price by Robert McCloskey The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain Jules Verne books Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew 10 Fingers for God: the life and work of Dr. Paul Brand by Dorothy Wilson Christian Heroes Then and Now series  Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morely The Awaking of Miss Prim: a Novel by Natalia Fenollera The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery The Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter Little Women Louisa May Alcott The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Frankenstein by Mary Shelley David Copperfield by Charles Dickens How Green was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn The Count of Monte Christo by Alexander Dumas  Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, and I'd be so very grateful if you leave a 5 star rating of the podcast and also a quick review.  Reviews are incredibly helpful to me as a new podcaster. Thank you for listening and being part of my team.  I love you guys! Greta 

About The GuestsACCESS LITERACY TEAMDorothy KardatzkeI live with my husband in Columbus, Ohio. I taught for more than 25 years in both general education classrooms and in classrooms for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Since 1997, when I was first trained in the English code, all my literacy instruction has been delivered using programs that are Orton-based. I left the classroom in 2018 to create space to write curriculum, and train/coach teachers. However, I will always be a teacher. It is who I am! I tutor little folks and big folks in literacy whenever I have the chance.​I had a rather circuitous educational journey which offered me the opportunity to embark on what I do presently. I completed a double major in Elementary Education and Deaf Education from Augustana College. I later completed post-graduate work in Linguistics and Language Development at the University of South Dakota and Neuroanatomy  at The Ohio State University.​During leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, fishing, canoeing, camping and cross-country skiing.Melody FurnoMy husband and I live in Columbus, Ohio where I taught an Orton-based Method for literacy in Kindergarten and first grade classrooms for 19 years. Encountering struggling readers in the classroom motivated me to enroll in coursework and to research current information on reading disabilities and dyslexia to set up interventions in the classroom.​Since leaving the classroom, I have used an Orton-based Method to train and consult teachers in literacy across the country and tutor struggling readers in 4th and 5th grades for Columbus Public Schools. ​I enjoy nature, fishing, hiking and biking. My special interest is to encourage faith-based ministries to play a part in addressing youth and adult illiteracy.   Show NotesPhonics programs are an important foundation for teaching students how to read.

‘When I was a lawyer, I knew what was good enough, because if you did the job properly, you were paid, and if you didn't do the job properly, you were sued. It was very clear-cut. With writing, you never know. There's a lot of subjectivity.' James speaks with Penguin Literary Prize winning author Annette Higgs about her debut novel, On a Bright Hillside in Paradise. They discuss the process of researching family ancestry to craft historical fiction, as well as the challenge of taking up writing later in life. Plus, Annette shares the story of how she learned she won the Penguin Literary Prize during a trip to Norfolk Island.  Annette Higgs is a writer living in Sydney, Australia.

Coronation quiche By Buckingham Palace/Mark Flanagan/Lucy Wilson Ingredients 250g block of ready-made shortcrust pastry For the filling 125ml milk 175ml double cream 2 medium eggs 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon 100g cheddar grated 180g cooked spinach liquid squeezed out and lightly chopped60g cooked  broad beans or soya beans (double pod the broad beans, if you like) Method STEP 1 Put a 20cm loose-bottomed tart tin or a 20cm pastry ring on a baking sheet. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the pastry to a circle a little larger than the top of the tin and approximately 5mm thick. Carefully lift the pastry into the tin and gently press into the corners, taking care not to have any holes or the mixture could leak. Cover and rest for a further 30 mins in the fridge. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. STEP 2 Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper – to do this cut a disc of greaseproof paper larger than the tin, scrunch it into a ball (this makes it more pliable), then unwrap and place it in the pastry case. It should come above the sides. Fill with baking beans or uncooked rice and bake blind for 20-25 until nicely golden and dry. Carefully remove the greaseproof paper and baking beans, and return to the oven for 5 mins to dry the base. Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. STEP 3 Beat the milk, cream, eggs and herbs with some seasoning. Scatter half of the grated cheese in the blind-baked base, top with the chopped spinach and beans, then pour over the liquid mixture. If required, gently give the mixture a delicate stir to ensure the filling is evenly dispersed, but be careful not to damage the pastry case. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Place into the oven and bake for 20-30 mins until set and very lightly golden. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Burgers, Beers and Books with Ben Hobson and Mark Smith - Limberlost

Tonight, we'll read an excerpt from “A Girl of the Limberlost” by Gene Stratton-Porter, published in 1909. This episode first aired in April of 2021. The story takes place in Indiana, in and around the Limberlost Swamp. Even at the time of its publication, this impressive wetland region was being reduced by heavy logging, natural oil extraction and drainage for agriculture. The author, Stratton-Porter, was considered one of the most popular woman novelists of the era. Elnora Comstock is an impoverished teenager who lives with her widowed mother, Katharine Comstock, on the edge of the Limberlost swamp. Elnora's mother treats her neglectfully, and makes her to go to her first day of high school at a new school unprepared. She is wearing ugly, out-dated clothes, and doesn't have proper books or tuition. Luckily, Elnora is a plucky and good-hearted young woman. She also has loving neighbors who want to help her. And that is where we will start.  — read by V — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I've brought in Robbie Arnott's new novel, Limberlost. Robbie Arnott is the author of Flames and The Rain Heron. His novels have won the Tasmanian Premier's Literary Award, Age book of the year and The SMH young novelist award, as well as being nominated for seemingly every other literary award this country has on offer.  Just a fun aside, as I prepped for this book club I couldn't help but notice that Limberlost has already garnered a few award nominations. That's because Robbie's writing is somehow both ethereal and visceral; having the power to take the reader away whilst grounding us in the reality being drawn for us. Limberlost is set across a long summer in Tasmania's north. While war rages in Europe and the Pacific, life on Limberlost carries on, haunted by the echoes of young men gone to fight. Ned is left at home with his father and sister Maggie, too young to fight, while his brothers enlist in the war. Ned is aware of their bravery and duty but struggles to reconcile himself to their absence and his own dislocation in the family hierarchy. Ned busies himself hunting rabbits. To provide pelts to make slouch hats for the soldiers is his justification, but really Ned dreams of buying a boat and setting free on the open water. On a fateful morning Ned checks his traps, only to find an injured Quoll caught in the steel jaws. The animal is a danger to the family's chickens. Its pelt would fetch Ned a good price, but he is compelled to hide the stricken animal and care for it away from the gaze of his family.  Ned's summer stretches out before him, an odyssey that will come to shape the rest of his life. Arnott's storytelling centers the teenage Ned and periodically flashes forward through Ned's life showing the reader the ripples of Ned's decisions and they shaped the man he would become. Limberlost is ostensibly the most grounded of Arnott's novels. It does not have the fantastical creatures and gilded mythologies of his previous books. In Limberlost the mystic is subsumed by a sense of connectedness that ties the natural world with the humans who too often fight against it. Ned's journey is one of coming to know his world and the place he occupies in it, whilst always finding himself at odds with its currents. Robbie Arnott has a way of painting a simple picture that is almost painful in its beauty. Or perhaps the pain is our sympathy with Ned who feels destined to always be a shadow in the brighter light of the men of his family. Ned's search for identity is paralleled with his search for place and a sense of belonging. It's a search that maps the mid and late twentieth century as Ned is blown about by forces of progress and history. As I read Limberlost I found myself with a feeling familiar from my reading of Flames and The Rain Heron. I searched for Arnott's purpose, his message. It seemed impossible to me that Ned's journey couldn't help but build to some extraordinary conclusion. And perhaps it does. I wouldn't spoil it for you now would I? More than any message though I was reminded as I read of how Robbie Arnott's style and his choice of subject in the vagaries of our natural world can transfix me. I read until I was lost in the rhythms of the novel and found myself incredulous that I was mere pages from the novel's end. Limberlost is a wonderful new novel from Robbie Arnott, possibly his best yet. Go check it out Loved this review?

Trisha Rose and Lee Ann Howlett Freckles is primarily set in the Limberlost Swamp of Indiana, U.S.A., with brief scenes set in Chicago. Freckles is the only name he has ever known. His right hand is missing at the wrist, and he is haunted by not knowing how it happened. Raised since infancy in a Chicago orphanage, he speaks with a slight Irish accent and sings with a beautiful voice. Now, exhausted after many days of walking, he applies for a job with the Grand Rapids Lumber Company, guarding timber in the Limberlost Swamp from timber thieves. Along with timber thieves, visitors to the swamp are the Bird Woman, who often comes to photograph birds' nests, and a lovely young woman whom Freckles promptly falls in love with and names his "Swamp Angel". He fears that he is descended from criminals who abused their baby and cut off his hand intentionally and so he cannot be worthy of her. The Swamp Angel declares her love for him and promises that she will find his parents and prove that Freckles comes from "a race of men that have been gentlemen for ages, and couldn't be anything else." Be sure to follow up by listening to this book with the sequel, The Girl of the Limberlost, also produced by Voices of Today.

And interview with Kate Inglis, author of 5 books for all ages, including the middle-grade novels The Dread Crew and Flight of the Griffons; the non-fiction memoir for adults, Notes for the Everlost, and the picture books, If I were a Zombie and A Great Big Night. Hear about her addiction to endless revision, the companionship she finds in fictional characters, and how her first novel began with a story she told her child just to pass the time. 25 minutes. All ages. A full interview transcript is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:10] Interview with Kate Inglis   CA: Are you a planner? Do you know the ending of your story when you begin? KI: No, I never do. …I feel like the act of writing is how I find the shape. My brain will kind of spit me out somewhere in the middle, a scene that just grabs me. … And then my thinking has to sort of spray outwards in every direction… And so sometimes I have a loose sense of what kind of a story it might be, but I don't know for certain until I give the characters a chance to tell me.   [2:15] CA: Do you have any favorite fictional characters from children's fiction? KI: I love all of Roald Dahl's characters…He was never afraid of letting stories be truly disorienting …And I remember loving Girl of the Limberlost when I was a kid. … a very sort of unusual, very smart, very nature-oriented girl….   [3:15] CA: …. How do you feel about tormenting your characters? KI: Oh, like giving a dog a good bone to chew on. … The stuff that really fortifies you and turns you into the person you're meant to be is the tough stuff. … The stories that I love to write the most are always going to be the ones where people, you can see the gravity of whatever it is they're carrying…. Because we all have that on us, right? [4:20] CA: Have you ever written a series? You have…. Did you did you know you were going to write a sequel? KI: No. … I didn't start writing The Dread Crew thinking I was writing a book. I just told a story to a 6-year-old in the woods because he was bored and we had a long way to walk. … And eventually it became a book. … I think by the time I was finished writing it, I knew that I would want to write another one.   [6:00] CA: How do you feel about sad endings? KI: Well I mean, that's life, isn't it? … I think there is absolutely such a thing as a sad ending done really beautifully, that still leaves the reader feeling enriched …It's not so much about Was the ending quote good or bad? It's, Was it done well? … A story with an ending that some people might consider sad, those are some of the best stories we have.   [6:55] CA: Is there a typical amount of time… that you would spend … drafting vs revising? KI: I would love to kind of chart that when I write my next novel… I actually love the process of editing. But the process of filling empty pages has always been more of a challenge for me. … I guess it might be 50/50. … The last novel that I wrote, that's with my agent now, I was probably working on it in earnest for about a year and a half… And then editing has been a very intense probably 8 months. But then that first year and a half was a ton of editing as well. … And as it turns out, I ended up re-sending her 6 drafts. …   [10:00] CA: What would you say is the hardest thing about writing a good story? … KI: … Getting over yourself. Just getting through to the point where you can keep sitting your butt down in the chair and keep cranking on the word count …. Even when you think you're no good, even when you think that probably the story isn't coming together, step away from it for a bit and then come back. Drop yourself somewhere else in the story. But whatever you do, just keep going. …   [11:30] CA: Excellent Do you have a favorite POV to write from? … KI: I always write it as kind of the observing narrator. I've never written in first person. … As the narrator, I'll kind of jump in here and then out again and then over there in terms of time. …You can sort of reach in with his giant hand and kind of move things around and adjust the pacing and the flow so that it just feels like it's balanced. And I guess that's me. I'm the hand, the giant hand.   [13:00] CA: And do you keep a regular writing practice? … KI: … I'm kind of a plodder. …I write when the spirit moves. … sometimes it's quite late into the night…I have a hard time sleeping. All I can hear in my head is [my characters'] voices. … And now that I've finished writing that book … I miss them. …A lot of people I think would find the process of writing a book perhaps to be really lonely … But I find myself very much kept company by my characters. …There is sort of this long stretch in the middle when you're creating, when I think we're most vulnerable to self-doubt, which is I think our sort of zone of abandonment as writers. …. All of us hit that point. … And that's okay. I just need to keep going through the fog.   [17:05] CA: What scared you as a kid? KI: …Not fitting in. … And at the same time… I didn't particularly want to fit in. … I didn't want to be like everyone else. …The older you get, the more you can make that possible for yourself. You can absolutely fit in and … not have to be like everyone else….   [18:40] CA: How important is setting to you when you write? … KI: Settings are crazy important. Settings are like another character for me. When I'm developing setting, I feel like a photographer when I write. …The setting of the novel that I just wrote is an abandoned house… so it's a very evocative place to write in. … It's a very useful tool to use setting and place as a way of showing and not telling what a character is driven by, what scares them, how they react to the world. … So place is absolutely elemental for me.   [20:45] CA: Are there setting or character exercises that you recommend to young writers? KI: … I don't do a whole lot of exercises. I'll just be in a project and I'll kind of keep going in the project. …Just start something. … Once you have the bones of a story…  do a little bit of freeform… journaling. … almost like you're being interviewed about the character. … I'm a big journaler, so I'm a big believer in that.   [21:55] CA: Do you have recommendations to young writers for getting or organizing ideas? KI: … I love having a big journal… And doodling and kind of free association and lists. I only just started writing with Scrivener, and that has been really useful for me in writing … novels. …Another thing that I do is I have a Pinterest, almost like it's my bulletin board. … So I'll often kind of clip and save stuff from online that feel evocative to me, somebody's smile or someone's boots, pictures of a setting, or maps, or other descriptions, or quotes that inspire me. …. I can kind of go there and tap into those warm mushy feelings about the project. It helps me remember to why I'm doing it, because I'm moved by this vision, by this idea.   [24:05] CA: Very cool. … Thank you so much… KI: It's been so fun to chat. … Bye   [24:20] Kate Inglis introduces herself KI: I'm Kate Inglis. And I'm an author. I've dabbled in kids' picture books and middle-grade adventures and adult nonfiction and adult novels as well. And I've been writing ever since I was a kid. And I always knew that I wanted to be an author but I wasn't always certain what I would say, what stories I would tell. And so much of my adult life has been keeping an eye out for those stories and sort of listening, like through a tin-can telephone, very very quietly for those characters that pop up, and learning how to chase them when I hear that call. So that's me.   [25:20] Find out more about Kate Inglis You can hear more creative writing advice from Kate Inglis on Cabin Tales Episode 5.5, “Author interviews about Plotting; and on Episode 6, “Begin in the Darkness,” about Beginnings; and on Episode 8, “The Never-ending Story,” about Revision.  You can find out more about Kate Inglis and her books from her website at KateInglis.com.   [26:10] Thanks and coming up on the podcast  I'll be back next week with leftovers from my interview with Don Cummer, author of historical fiction for young readers.

The Limberlost Review was a literary journal that was published throughout the 1970s and 80s that collated poetry, prose and essays from writers around the Mountain West. The Review has been published sporadically since for 30 years. Rosemary and Rick Ardinger have brought back the journal with works from Nancy Takacs, Greg Keeler and Mary Clearman Blew. Rick and Rosemary join Idaho Matters to talk about The Linberlost Review and the voices of the Mountain West.
