<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kij Johnson, multiple award-winning writer--pictured here with master of horror, Peter Straub--will visit campus on Thursday, April 26, the final day of teaching for this semester for most people.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had hoped for two presentations, but all is chaos on this day. If an opening presents itself, I will update this information. <span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white;">But on Thursday at 9:30, April 26, in Hoyt 104, Kij will talk about her writing and give a short reading.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Afterwards, we all went to the small gym where students took off their shoes--all the smelly feet!--and engaged in a contest to see which contestants could find their shoes first.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to another Student Enhancement Grant, the students got to purchase a book and then get that picture book or novel signed by either the author or the illustrator, sometimes both at the same time.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">The festival brings to Concordia University a rich array of authors and illustrators who emphasize in their presentations not only their artistic excellent but also the processes each pursues where to illustrate a children's book or pen a Young Adult Novel.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">This rich experience--one that provides a friendly atmosphere that allows students to talk with the people who inspire them--proves eye opening for many of the students, especially those who plan to pursue a teaching career, the reason Gina Bitner and I focus on Elementary Education and English Majors.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">But the morning exit of the cranes made the discomfort from the chill almost worth the price of admission.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">I took pictures, and Dan helmed the movie camera. I made two short videos, attempting to capture the huge number of birds and the stunning sounds that filled the air.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Evening with the cranes:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">I had wanted for years to watch the cranes departure, for they leave in huge numbers and pretty quickly:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">In the morning, fortified by the car heater and a cup of good coffee, Dan and I visited Don Welch, one of the state's premier poets; Don passed away a couple months later, so I am glad we got to say hello.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">In October, <a href="http://www.peru.edu/media/bill-clemente-essays-published-in-the-last-midnight/">the college did a great and flattering announcement</a> about the publication of my article about <i>Robocop</i> and the zombie film <i>Fido</i> that got published in <i>The Last Midnight: Essays on Apocalyptic Narratives in Millennial Media</i>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: small;">Peru, Nebraska- Dr. Bill Clemente, professor of English at Peru State College, has a new essay published in The Last Midnight: Essays on Apocalyptic Narratives in Millennial Media. His essay is titled “Corporate Abuse and Social Inequality in RoboCop and Fido.”<br /><br />McFrarlandBook.com writes about “The Last Midnight,” “Visions of an apocalypse began to dominate mass media well before the year 2000. Yet narratives since then present decidedly different spins on cultural anxieties about terrorism, disease, environmental collapse, worldwide conflict and millennial technologies.”<br /><br />“This collection of new essays explores apocalyptic themes in a variety of post-millennial media, including film, television, video games, webisodes and smartphone apps.”<br /><br />Clemente’s essay explores these issues, “’RoboCop’ draws on distress triggered by diverse issues, from the militarization of the police to the unholy alliance of wing-nut media and global corporations.“<br /><br />“And ‘Fido’ references multiple issues that continue to plague the country, from soaring corporate profits made through perpetuating fears about security, to the growing disparity between the powerful super rich and the ever diminishing political influence of the middle class and the poor.”<br /><br />“The Last Midnight” is Clemente’s second publication in 2016 following his article on the Cuban zombie film “Juan of the Dead,” “Zombies along the Malecón” appearing in the Spring 2016 edition of the “Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies.”<br /><br />Clemente will also present at the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse conference in Windsor, Canada, about an in-progress essay, “Do Zombies Smoke After Sex? Desire and Compulsion in three Zombie films, Fido, Colin, and Otto.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Clemente’s most recent other publication is “Panem in America: Crisis Economics and a Call for Political Engagement” in “Of Bread, Blood and The Hunger Games: Critical Essays on the Suzanne Collins Trilogy.” An avid photographer and bird watcher, Clemente has also published an article about birding in “The Prairie Fire.” <br /><br />Over the past few years, Clemente has created new classes for Peru State that include The Graphic Novel, Science Fiction Literature and Film, a class devoted to Zombie films, and a Children’s Literature course on Young Adult Dystopian Fiction.<br /><br />“The Last Midnight” was edited by Leisa A. Clark, Amanda Firestone and Mary F. Pharr with series editors Donald E. Palumbo and C.W. Sullivan III.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Near the end of the semester, Feathers and Verses presentations kept me happily occupied.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">The exact May dates matter little at this juncture. And <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/clemente/albums/72157667611817982">as the photographs indicate</a>, we all enjoyed an instructive and enjoyable time.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">For Arbor Day, I gave a couple presentations of Feathers Verses at the beautiful Keeping Room--thanks to Kelly Baquette for inviting me.</span></span><br />

But, really, the youngsters in particular paid little mind to the wet. At my station, they colored pictures, wrote some poems, and learned about birds and their songs.</span></span><br />
