This collection is located in theWashington/Northwest Room of the State Library and is an exhibit andcomposite history of the State's literary production. Washington's literature has always been full of personal experiences ofman's life in the wilderness and on the trail.Closely allied is the workof the many natural scientists and conservationists who have foundinspiration and subject material in our unique natural setting. Althoughthe subject range is diverse,Washington fiction also reflects an interestin pioneer history and the general theme of man and nature. Washington poetry is of particular interest. The Pacific Northwest hascontributed much that is excellent to American poetry in the latter half ofthe twentieth century. The work of the Washington poets is particularlynotable. We find that it is virtually impossible to collect all of the workspublished by Washington authors in time to meet our publication deadline.We greatly appreciate having authors notify us of the publication of theirnew books. We are often asked for a definition of "Washington author." A Washingtonauthor is a person who was born in the State,or who grew up and beganwriting here,or who produced most of his books while living in Washingtonfor a period of at last ten years.If the author's period of residency isless than ten years,only the works written while living the the State areincluded in the Washington Author Collection.
