Bowder takes the reader on a journey through the communities rocked by each facet of the disaster&#8211;the earthquake, the tsunami, and the nuclear meltdown that followed. Bowder&#8217;s stories provide a deeply human perspective on a disaster whose impact was often relayed in the form of statistics, soundbites, and clips. The reader is reminded that no matter the magnitude of a disaster real human stories of heartbreak, resilience, survival, and love exist and must be told if communities impacted by such tragedies are to heal. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2ec26a96 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-21d16769 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-21d16769\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Bio<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-b73897fc\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b73897fc\">\n\n<p>Catherine Browder is the author of three previous story collections, <em>a feuillet, <\/em>a Ploughshares Solo, as well as numerous produced plays.

In the aftermath of trauma, &#8220;Oktoberfest&#8221; finds a teenage girl caught between domestic duties and the pull of the natural world. In &#8220;White Birch Winter,&#8221; an aimless woman becomes a caretaker for her mother&#8217;s elderly ex-husband, an artistic recluse who is resistant to her efforts. <br>The women in these stories are tied to the land they inhabit, coming of age on rivers and lakes, among hunters and fishermen, dependent on tourist economies to make a living. Their desires are stifled by harsh climates, poverty, and difficult family relationships; what unites these characters is their quest to sustain themselves and a longing for connection-sometimes found in unexpected people and places. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-9dce6c26 gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.touchnet.net\/C20347_ustores\/web\/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=239\">Buy<\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-d05ee8ab\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d05ee8ab\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-d1e0f891\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-72738891\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-72738891\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsbooks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/450\/2024\/11\/Bosses-of-Light-and-Sound.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35495\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2\/3;object-fit:contain;width:286px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsbooks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/450\/2024\/11\/Bosses-of-Light-and-Sound.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsbooks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/450\/2024\/11\/Bosses-of-Light-and-Sound-200x300.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-b7323d8c\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b7323d8c\">\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-59a24716 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Bosses of Light and Sound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-da86d075 gb-headline-text\">by Nickalus Rupert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-0459a5ee gb-headline-text\">Published: 2020<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ae43b740 gb-headline-text\">Price: $19.95<\/h6>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-564eac5e gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-968db839 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-2101fbb3 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-2101fbb3\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Blurb<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-b85baccd\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b85baccd\">\n\n<p>Two movie-theater projectionists become addicted to \u201cfixing\u201d blockbuster films.
