WISCONSIN WOMEN WRITERS OF ADULT FICTION AND POETRY 1962 - 1992 (PART ONE) This bibliography in the series WISCONSIN BIBLIOGRAPHIES IN WOMEN'S STUDIES covers the work of 123 Wisconsin women authors of adult fiction and poetry who published one or more books between 1962-1992. While the focus is on authors of fiction or poetry, codes beside the names indicate the writers who have also produced nonfiction or plays. For authors who have published many books, the works cited are selective. These Wisconsin writers cannot be classified according to genres, which range from historical novels to nature poems, from romances to horror tales. Nor can their writing be categorized by a particular place, although each writer has a Wisconsin connection. Some were born in Wisconsin, but others came to this state from as far away as Russia, Vietnam, India, and South Africa. At least nine women share their ethnic heritage through their work: African American, Native American, Chicana, and Japanese American. This bibliography has been compiled so that we may share the diversity and appreciate the creativity being expressed by the women of Wisconsin -- both those who grew up in the neighborhoods of this state as well as those who were transplanted to Wisconsin communities either permanently or briefly. A list of the sources consulted to compile this bibliography is included. Sources of continuing information on Wisconsin writers are the column "Readable Wisconsin" appearing annually in an issue of Channel DLS from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Division for Library Services; the Wisconsin Library Association's annual list of books by Wisconsin authors; and issues of the Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters. ******************* CRITERIA Authors were selected on the basis of: 1. having resided in Wisconsin for at least a year's time; 2. having published one or more books of fiction or poetry for adults since 1962.
