Publisher's Synopsis
Anthology of regional writing and art. New York's Catskill Mountains are not just a feast for the eye, not just a vacation spot for the city-weary. Literary and visual artists have been drawn to the region since the early 1800s, many finding the blue "land in the clouds" the perfect place to residez The groundbreaking "Out Of The Catskills And Just Beyond" presents the works of almost 200 writers and artists, including more than 50 Catskill high-school writers and artists, in all their rich diversity: extensive sections cover poetry, fiction, and essays, and the volume is illustrated throughout with paintings, drawings and photographs by artists from the region.
