Kudos of the highest order to Michael Adams, whose 40th anniversary celebration of the Dobie
Paisano Program at the Paisano Ranch on Saturday, March 8, was a terrific success. Among the honored
guests were former Paisano fellows, including the first one, Billy Porterfield.
This very month Elizabeth (Betty) Adcock saw publication of her sixth collection of poems,
Slantwise, published by the LSU Press as the L.E. Phillabaum Award volume for 2008, given by the press
as the outstanding poetry volume of the year. Her collection of poems, The Difficult Wheel, won TIL's
1995 poetry prize.
Bill Minutaglio will have a new book released as part of the Southwestern Writers Collection
