SAFEHOLDAnn Hostetler, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 15

Starting with the image of November thunderstorms worthy of July followed next dayby snow flurries, in her title poem Hostetler grieves that the weather's off and racists rise,making her wonder “How long can we deny the signs?” Poignantly she concludes, “LikeNoah, I build an ark, / gathering what I love inside— / this frail coracle / of words.”

“Hostetler, who has done so much for Mennonite literature as teacher and editor, nowgives us a second collection of her own plainspoken poems. Their message? Refuse to beshunned. Breathe. Build an ark. Seek forgiveness not perfection. Write what you love.Again and again, Hostetler calls us to everyday mindfulness in the midst of our grief: fail-ing parents, worrisome children, the world’s uncertain course.” —Julia Spicher Kasdorf,Author, Shale Play: Poems and Photographs from the Fracking Fields

Ann Hostetler, Professor of English, Goshen (Ind.) College, is the author of Empty Roomwith Light and editor of A Cappella: Mennonite Voices in Poetry as well as the Journal forMennonite Writing at https://mennonitewriting.org/.

ON THE BANKS OF JACOB’S CREEKA History of the Scottdale Mennonite Churches

Daniel HertzlerDaniel Hertzler tells the story, both sorrowful and inspiring, of how Scottdale (Pa) Men-nonite Church emerged in 2003 from the opportunities and crises faced by two Mennonitecongregations and Mennonite Publishing House.

“Hertzler understands well the interrelated missions of Mennonite Publishing House andthree congregations in Scottdale. He captures the symbiotic nature of the relationship be-tween church and workplace as he writes an accurate account of how the churches func-tioned, who led them, and how leaders managed inevitable change. Photos and anec-dotes add interest to this detailed history.” —Dorothy Cutrell worshiped and served atScottdale Mennonite Church for over 30 years and worked at Provident Bookstore.

Daniel Hertzler was an editor at Mennonite Publishing House 1952-1990 and editor ofGospel Herald 1973-1990. He is author of the memoirs A Little Left of Center (DreamseekerBooks, 2000) and On My Way (DreamSeeker Books, 2013).

ACQUIRING LAND: LATE POEMS (forthcoming spring-summer 2020)Jane Rohrer, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 17

“Jane Rohrer came late to poetry, but there is nothing belated about her marvelous newcollection. These alert, inventive, expansive poems travel widely—into her memory andfamily history, and around the world—constantly offering up bold, moving insights andturns of phrase.” —Jeff Gundy, Author, Somewhere Near Defiance and Songs from anEmpty Cage

As her life expanded from Mennonite and Church of the Brethren roots in Broadway, Vir-ginia, through marrying painter Warren Rohrer and raising sons in suburban Philadel-phia to launching a late but flourishing writing career in the 1970s, Jane Rohrer becamean accomplished poet.

Rohrer’s publications works include a prior poetry volume, Life After Death (SheepMeadow Press, 2002), about which Stephen Berg said, “Her idiom is so original, so plain,so authentic, it easily might be missed in the current noisy welter of media hype and in-flated poetry. It's skill is absolute honesty, line after line set down because it must be.”

CORNFIELDS, COTTONWOODS, SEAGULLS, AND SERMONSGrowing Up in Nebraska, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 17

Joseph GaschoHow does driving a tractor at age five, irrigating corn, and reading a cartoon book aboutanatomy in a three-shelf-library one-room country school prepare one to become a physi-cian? In these poems, poet-physician Joseph Gascho reflects on such questions.

“Renders the numinous earthiness of the Nebraska plains and the people who live therein frank, clear-eyed images” —Kimberly R. Myers, Associate Professor of Humanities, English,and Medicine, Penn State College of Medicine

Autumn 2019 News from Cascadia Publishing House LLC

Dear Readers, Reviewers, Researchers, InnerCircle members, or Buyers (some of you suggested by authors of the featured books due to subject matter, regional, alumnus, or other connections):

We’re pleased to report on new titles into 2020. In case you want to order, review, or add them to bibliographies and databases, enclosed are fliers detailing them—and see order form (attached) for a.) option to request free review copies and b.) special offers.

On the Banks of Jacobs Creek: A History of the Scottdale Mennonite Churches, Daniel Hertzler, who “promises . . . an honest account of the Mennonite presence in Scottdale.” —John E. Sharp, Author, My Calling to Fulfill: The Orie O. Miller Story

Safehold, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 15, Ann Hostetler, who “has written a true work of Christian poetry: these poems incarnate Christ's elegant, dark hand, unknowable and open, ready to carry us all.” —Rebecca Gayle Howell, Author, American Purgatory

The Farm Wife’s Almanac, Shari Wagner, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 16, whose poems “are treasures unpacked and gleaming with quiet passion, humor, and wisdom.” —Jean Janzen, Author, What the Body Knows

Yoder School, DreamSeeker Memoirs 1, Phyllis Miller Swartz. ”An extraordinarily insightful memoir of an inter-culturally-seasoned Anabaptist educator journeying from an Amish Mennonite mountain school in Maryland through urban mazes of Michigan and beyond. “ —Richard Showalter, Overseer, CMC (formerly Conservative Mennonite Conference)

Let the Children Come to Me: Nurturing Anabaptist Faith Within Families, Lisa Weaver and Elizabeth Miller, designed Judith Rempel Smucker. “This resource is an amazing treasure for our families! A great balance of principles and experience, contextual relevance and cultural diversity, historic and contemporary challenges, Anabaptist values, and teaching resources. Highly recommended.” —César García, Executive Secretary, Mennonite World Conferences.

The Absent Christ: An Anabaptist Theology of the Empty Tomb, C. Henry Smith Series 12, Justin Heinzekehr. “Never have I seen the Christian affirmation of the present and absent Christ spelled out so clearly and insightfully for the postmodern world. In these pages Anabaptist theology finds its prophetic voice again.” —Philip Clayton, Author, Transforming Christian Theology

Acquiring Land, DreamSeeker Poetry Series 17 (coming 2020), Jane Rohrer. “These alert, inventive, expansive poems travel widely—into Rohrer’s memory and family history, and around the world—constantly offering up bold, moving insights, and turns of phrase.” —Jeff Gundy, Author, Somewhere Near Defiance
