Literary Arts Day Features Guest Author Cynthia Rylant, poet and author of several chiIdren's books, was the featured speaker at the first Literary Arts Day. Regular classes were suspended so that students could sign up for mini-courses in papermaking, book- making, acting, calligraphy, book talks, and book reviews. All courses were presented by professionals in and around the area who donated their time to make their presenta- tions. Subjects covered included talks on Jim Thorpe, picture books, controversial books, and video writing to name a few. Ms. Mary Johnson, teacher of English and speech, was coordinator of the day's events. Author Cynthia Rylant spoke to students about her early years in Appalachia and the kind of experiences which helped her to be- come a writer. She shared the joys and pains of writing for publication and helped the stu- dents realize the process involved in bringing a piece of writing to print. Through the speakers and the creative, hands-on work- shops, students experienced literature and the arts in a new way. Above: Guest-author Cynthia Rylant takes a break between lectures.
