<p>
The need comes on me now<br>
to speak across the years<br>
to those who finally will live
here<br>
after the present ruin, in the
absence<br>
of most of my kind who by now<br>
are dead, or have given their
minds<br>
to machines and become strange,<br>
"over-qualified" for the hard<br>
handwork that must be done<br>
to remake, so far as humans<br>
can remake, all that humans<br>
have unmade. To you, whoever<br>
you may be, I say: Come,<br>
meaning to stay. Come,<br>
willing to learn what this place,<br>
like no other, will ask of you<br>
and your children, if you mean<br>
to stay. "This land responds<br>
to good treatment," I heard<br>
my father say time and again<br>
in his passion to renew, to make<br>
whole, what ill use had broken.<br>
And so to you, whose lives<br>
taken from the life of this place<br>
I cannot foretell, I say:<br>
Come, and treat it well.
</p>

Rhode Island (1952). She grew up
in a working-class Catholic
family, and when she entered
Harvard she became the first
person in her family to attend
college. She worked as a
journalist for <em>The</em> <em>Pawtucket
Times </em>and the <em>Detroit
Free Press</em>. She said: "The
main thing about a newspaper is
what not to say. There is a vast
area that is too personal,
critical, or controversial.
There's probably more fiction in
an obit than any other writing."
She went back to graduate school
and became a professor and writer.
Her books include <em>Airs of
Providence </em>(1985), <em>The
Courage of Girls </em>(1991), <em>Dream
Date </em>(2002), and <em>Ocean
State </em>(2010).</p>

Clarksville, Texas (1924). He left
Texas as a young man to try and
make his way as a playwright in
New York City. He bounced from job
to job until he found work as a
goatherd in rural New York,
tending goats and chickens in
return for a place to live and $25
a month. In the solitude there, he
began writing stories. He hadn't
graduated from college himself,
but on the strength of three
published stories and a good
interview, he got a job teaching
at Bard College. Eventually, he
was able to write full-time,
mostly stories and novels about
life in small-town Texas,
including <em>Home from the Hill
</em>(1957), <em>The Ordways </em>(1965),
and <em>September Song </em>(1992).</p>
<p>He said, "There is nothing on
earth harder than being humorous,
nothing worse when you fail."</p>

author</a>), born in New York
City (1953). She worked with
pregnant teenagers and autistic
kids, and she said, "I realized
that I didn't find other people's
problems as boring as many people
seem to." So she decided to make a
living from it. First she worked
as a psychotherapist, but she
found herself wanting to write,
and she began writing short
stories. Her first collection, <em>Come
to Me </em>(1993), got great
reviews and was nominated for a
National Book Award. She continued
to write, and her books include <em>Love
Invents Us </em>(1997), <em>Away
</em>(2007), and <em>Where the
God of Love Hangs Out </em>(2009).
Her novel <em>Lucky Us </em>will
be published next month.</p>
<p>She said: "There are no general
stories. One doesn't hear general
stories as a therapist. One hears
unbelievably specific, intimate,
detailed stories. There is no big
picture. There is only this
particular moment in this
particular life."</p>

target="_blank">books by this
author</a>), born in Evanston,
Illinois (1957). When he was in
his early 20s, he was working as a
computer programmer in Boston. He
spent every Saturday at the Museum
of Fine Arts, where admission was
free in the morning, and one day
he saw a photograph from 1914 of
three farm boys headed to a dance.
He was so inspired that he quit
his job on Monday and spent the
next two years writing his first
novel, <em>Three Farmers on Their
Way to a Dance </em>(1985). He
thought those two years would be a
break before he went back to real
work, but the novel did so well
that he was able to remain a
full-time writer. He has written
11 novels, including <em>The Gold
Bug Variations </em>(1991), <em>Operation
Wandering Soul </em>(1993), <em>The
Echo Maker </em>(2006), and,
most recently, <em>Orfeo </em>(2014).</p>
<p>He said, "The single most useful
trick of fiction for our repair
and refreshment: the defeat of
time. A century of family saga and
a ride up an escalator can take
the same number of pages. Fiction
sets any conversion rate, then
changes it in a syllable."</p>

prolific writer, publishing more
