The latest issue of Traditions: A Journal of West Virginia Folk Culture and Educational Awareness is fresh off the press and dedicated to the WV literary map. All the authors listed on the map are recognized in the issue.

In addition, there are article/poems by West Virginia authors including Robyn Eversole, Mary Lucille DeBerry, Marc Harshman, Jeff Mann, Lee Maynard, T. W. McNemar, Anna Smucker, Charlotte Meade, Barbara Smith, and more.

And there are essays about WV literary greats such as Muriel Miller Dressler, Davis Grubb, Keith Maillard, Breece D'J Pancake, Meredith Sue Willis, and a host of others.

The issue has many,many other sections. Of special value to teachers will be those related to classroom use of WV literature.
