The publication you are holding in your hands (or looking at online) reflects the values of the College—integrity, people, diversity, forward thinking, community. It would not have been possible without the work of four Casper College student Service Learners—Rayna Januska, Zoe von Gunten, Tyler Cooper, Kassandra Merrell. We are also very glad to have received the cover photograph made by Devon King. Zoe's reflection connecting the inspiration wilderness had on her Service Learning Project for the Bruce Richards Lecture with Hua Hsu toward the end of October—just prior to the Literacy Conference—connects seamlessly with the original aim of this small zine of Casper College. The photographs from the Conference appear courtesy Dave Zoby. The other photographs are courtesy the Tom Hough Papers, housed in the Goodstein Foundation Library's Special Collections (Western History Center). We hope to make more zines like this during future iterations of the two events that supported its creation in 2023. Please enjoy! -HansVC«' ��During the Casper College Literary Conference participated in the Bruce Richards event where created a presentation and display on the effects o memory and cherished objects. Through my researcf I found myself stumbling upon the Tom Hough papers Tom Hough was the editor in chief for the Star Tribune and an avid lover of nature and wilderness. As I did m' research and filed through information on Tom Hough the more I felt that I was going along with him on hi; wilderness adventures. With the Literary Conference happening as I did this project, I found myself reflectinc on the meaning of nature and wilderness and ou relationship with it. As the years have passed anc we have evolved as humans, the beauty of nature has become nothing but green flashes outside a ca window, a brief glance of orange and purple over the top of a phone screen, or just a sunset through p|||k the lens of a camera. Tom Hough was not one to ignore nature, he plunged deep into it anc filled his heart and soul with the breeze in the trees and the wild Wyoming wind, and this i; something that I have found myself carrying with me now after this experience. While walking to a class on the other side of campus I remind myself to stop and look at the white clouds floating lazily in the sky On long drives I gaze out the window taking in ever\ small detail I can. Maybe if I'm lucky. I'll see a smal �animal. These moments are vital to human existence as we are part of nature and remembering that we are Dart of this ecosystem can bring us back to the roots af the Earth. The Literary Conference made me more attuned to the nature aspect of the Hough papers, I vanted to understand his excitement and joy while he axplored the vast Wyoming wilderness. I happened to ead Once Removed written by Elizabeth Bradfield, one af the poets featured in the Literary Conference, while vorking. The final part of the her poem "Deliquesce: A s/leditation In Seven Parts" I believe sums up my new /lew on the relationship between humans and nature: uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiii his water. This water. This cloud light liquid shiftless resistance this rendering of all we might become." —Elizabeth Bradfield 3y Zoe von Gunten �45 When most I wink, then do mine eyes best tee. For all the day they \ iew things unrespected, But when 1 sleep, in dreamt they kxdt on thee And. darkly bright, are bright in dark directed, j Then thou, whose diadow shadows doth matfl How would thy th>dow'«yorm foim^a{yy duns To the clear day with tliy much clearer light When to unseeing eves thy shade shines sol How wouldVl tay?|i>ioes eyes be blessed made By lotdung on thee in thriving day, U'ben io dead night thy fair imperfect shade Through hea>7 deep on sightless eyes doth stay! All days are nights to tee till 1 see thee. ~ And nights bright days when dreams do show thee 44 If the dull tubaUAce at Aah were thought. lojuruHu disunce ihould not stop ray way; For then, despite of space. I would be brought. From limits (ar remote, where thou dost stay. No matter then although my foot did stand UpoQ the farthest earth remov'd from thee; For nimble thought can jump both sea and land As soon as think the place where he would be. But. ah, thought kills me that I am not thought. To leap targe lengths of miles when thou an gone, Bat that, to much of earth and water srrou^K. I must attend time's leisure with my mosm. Receiving naught by elements to slow But heavy tears, baches of eitber'i woe.
