Jones 10257 1-iorse Lee KVanston, Wyoming 82930 Tins saj\’d iL\n Casper’s once-famous 3and Bnr district has had a colorful and varied history. In the 90 years that have passed since the founding: of the city, the Sand Ear has changed in appearance find character several times. Each change reflects a different period in Casper's history. At first, the hand j>.r was an unattractive piece of sandy, swampy low ground at the western ed/'c of Casper. Every spring the North Platte river would overflow its banks and cover tlie Sand Bar with water. Once this spring flooding had subsided each year, the Platte would divide at a bond along the Sand Bar and would leave a beach of sand between its ti-/o branches. Prom this beach came the nickname "Sand Bar." People used to fish from the banks of the Platte along the Sand Bar, and the town deposited its garbage in the area. But the district v/asn't very important to a small, unprogressive to;>zn of several hundred people. Then the federal government sponsored tlie construction of Pathfinder dam. Once this project w'as completed in 19O9» 2.nd once the Burlington railroad had built its oil spur tracks along the Platte through Lhe gand Bar in 191^, the atumal flooding ceased to plague the Sand iJar, Tin- area, had become habitable. It was the oil boom of 1917 that encouraged people to build tenement houses, hotels and various businesses on the Sand Bar, Casper had become crowded because of the boom, end the Sand Bar had become valuable real estate.

The most famous murder to occur on the hand Bar happened in 1921, when a woman from Oklahoma tracked a msji dovm on the Saiid Bar and siiot him to death at a street carnival there. The vrarnan, known as the Lady Barber of Hurburnett, liad followed her victim up froin Texas vaiery he had destroyed laany of her possessions 1 olloiving a lovers’ dispute, At a long and complicated trial, tne woman was found guilty of second degree murder :tnd sentenced to 21 years in prison. The 1920's were the Band Bar’s heyday.

But there were other reasons for the d?uid Bar to be remembered. A fine movie and vaudeville theater existed on West First street. This was the Columbia which opened in I921 and lasted until’the fall of 1928. I-Mny excellent vaudeville shows were presented at the Columbia, and perl'ormors came from as fiir ai/ay as Mew York City to to play t'uere.

The collection is dated from 1923 to 1987, when Mrs. Peggy Simson Curry passed and much of her work was donated to Casper College's Western History Center by her husband, William S. Curry. Born Peggy Anderson-Simson on December 30th, 1911 in Dunure, Ayrshire, Scotland, Peggy Simson Curry was a renowned Wyoming native writer, scholar, educator, and a loving wife and mother. She is most famous throughtout Colorado and Wyoming for being a historic poet, fiction writer, novelist, and an English teacher at Casper College for over 25 years. She grew up in the West roping and riding on a small ranch in Colorado, and then Wyoming. Her childhood growing up on a ranch inspired her to write incredible stories and she made an entire career out of writing unique characters into pictures of the west from early 1950 to 1987. Peggy’s crowning achievement, and what she’s known best for, is being named Wyoming’s First Poet Laureate in January 1980-1981 by Wyoming Governor Ed Herschler, who was a personal fan of Curry’s work in Wyoming.

Again, thank you very much and here now is a recording of the program which was broadcast in December of 1983. Program 222 for December 12th. Kevin Utter: We are now well into our Christmas season, and as we prepare for Christmas, put up the decorations, prepare the tree, clean the house, we must remember God’s purpose and the reason for celebrating Christmas. Please stay tuned. [Gospel Music]. Kevin Utter: [Music in background] A gift would be given in the Christmas season, which would last throughout eternity and would bring saving grace to all who would accept it. This is “Music with a Message,” the stories of Christ as told through music and word for your inspiration and joy. Kevin Utter: Good evening everyone, this is Kevin Utter. This evening, we would like to express the Christmas spirit in a little different manner. Last summer I had the privilege, as I do every summer, to hear Mrs. Peggy Simson Curry, one our favorite Wyoming writers and poets. One of the works she shared with us last summer was a Christmas poem, which I would like to bring you this evening. So at this time, I now present to you Mrs. Peggy Simson Curry. Peggy Simson Curry: Pleasure to be here, I’ve enjoyed it very much. I like to share my poetry. And this one I’m very fond of, it’s a Christmas poem that I wrote over a year ago and it was purchased by the Christian Science Monitor and they will use it in the future. And it is a religious poem because it’s just something I wanted to say relative to Christmas and God and so forth. And the title is “The Season of the Star.” [Music]. Peggy Simson Curry: [Music in background] Father, thy name I praise. And all thy foes and names in hearts of men of every race. Thy name I praise and praise again. In grass that greens out of the snows and in the flute-like songs we sing, remembering love by little fires in the dark. I praise thy name in autumn-breasted birds and miracles of star-shaped moss upon the smallest rain-washed stone. I praise in all moons, in rainbows down on city streets and sun remembered earth. I praise the mystery from which I came, for if I am not this, then I am nothing. For if thy mark is not upon me as the light, I am the lost and empty shell that gives no ear the echo of the sea. Now in the sacred season of the star, lighted trees, love untethered as the winds, thy name I praise and kneel upon the earth, take communion with all living things. Lay soft thy blessing in my heart and in my mind renew thy purpose. Kevin Utter: You’ve just heard a poem written and read by Peggy Simson Curry of Casper, Wyoming. I would like to thank her very much for the permission to use this poem this evening on this series of Christmas programs. Lord, this evening we ask you to help us remember these wonderful things you have taught us and things you have given us to make possible our salvation and to make possible for us joy that would otherwise be unreachable and for bringing us hope that would otherwise be despair. We praise your name this evening for your wondrous love for us, and as we remember this through the Christmas season, help us to show this love for others as you have showed it to us. To bring love and aid to someone else in need and never to hesitate to reach out to someone when we plainly see their needs or if their needs are not as clear at first. Help us, still, to reach out. We thank you again and praise your holy, wonderful name. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen. [Gospel Music]. Kevin Utter: At this time of the year, we have decorated trees, beautiful lights and many Christmas gifts under the tree. But also let us not forget the wonderful gift that was given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ, which is what we’re worshipping during this Christmas season. Thank you very much for listening, and please listen again next Monday evening at 6:25. So long.

This audio file was originally recorded as a Wheatland, Wyoming radio broadcast by Kevin Utter for a weekly devotional program titled "Music with a Message" as part of a Christmas segment. Kevin Utter was a frequent visitor to the Allen H. Stewart Lion's Camp for the Visually Handicapped on Casper Mountain outside of Casper, Wyoming. Peggy Simson Curry also often visited the camp to read her writings and poems to the camp members and teach at a creative writing class that was held there. Upon his request, she agreed to record herself reading her Christmas poem "The Season of the Star," which he then applied music to and featured on his weekly radio broadcast. The poem was by then already purchased by the Christian Science Monitor. This copy of the audio was then gifted to Peggy Simson Curry by Kevin Utter for her records.

"Hounds can smell time," he told him, "They can tell when people have been through-" Before nightfall, the hound led deputies to the lost child from Bellingham. The mayor praised the dog in a television press event. While the politicians spoke, the sheriff noticed the hound in the back of Grady's truck. Grady walked in the woods behind the podium, putting his nose to the branches of maple trees. The sheriff leaned to a stranger and said, "Grady found her.

The low light of dusk fades To whoever finds this record, perhaps quite long since my departure, doubtless seeing the large collection of poetry and collected writings stacked within this house... I leave it alt to you. I simply wish to share my story with someone before I go, if you’d indulge this humble record. As you'll duly note, many of these pages and books are quite rare in their singularity. They’re all written by the renowned Emry Anders, ’The Dreaming Poet'. Every published book, manuscript, draft, and scribble she ever penned, I’m quite sure, It’s been quite a painstaking process acquiring them all from Emry’s family. My own relatives, forever estranged, would describe this endeavor as obsessive. Despite the struggle and disapproval. I’ve maintained this collection to a pristine level, if you discount the wear of my endless thumbing and flipping of every page. ... The chosen find themselves bearing crimson waves on the shores of madness... - Upon the Precipice. Emry Anders To do this record justice, as the last vestige of my life, I will not attempt to play the revisionist in this brief telling. What follows will be an accurate depiction of my thoughts as I thought them, I believe this, paired with the collection, will illuminate my journey to you. My love of Emry’s poetry did not supplant 180 Expression Magazine �TheSomniloguist much in my life, as I never chased after marriage or starting a family. Those traditional life pursuits never took, as I never really fit in with this world, and so, I have lived a lonely life. I was lonely and empty before, but now, I am neither, I assure you. Once, I was the primary investigator in the now famous Anders case a little over ten years ago in this very city. Before this case crossed my desk, I could hardly be said to have read anything at all aside from work related reports and memos, the occasional newspaper article. I was quite boring, many would say. I never gave much time to things outside my work, let alone something as frivolous as a highly eccentric body of poetry with a reputation of “expanding the horizons of the mind." It frankly annoyed me when it landed on my desk. The Anderses', her husband Silas included, fame began with a relative, cult-like status in the literary world but quickly spread, and by the time her second book came out, she was a national best­ seller. Her work quickly permeated everything from high school yearbook quotes to being quoted in congressional speeches, strangely enough. This mostly subverted the uninitiated's awareness. Five years into the reign of the Anderses, there arose many speculations and accusations of behind-the-scenes nefariousness regarding the likes of fraud, tax evasion, and abuse. Such is the way of people with money and influence, I suppose. Many ears perked at the chance to head a high-profile case, but not mine. Perhaps that’s why I was chosen to lead the investigation. Some accusations, on their face, seemed more likely than others. Those of fraud and tax evasion by Silas, the face of the duo’s operation, were then my first avenue of investigation. I thought if I could get him on something tangible, his other crimes would be easier to coax out. 65th Edition 181 �The SomniloQuist The accusations of abuse were made very public but did not have a leg to stand on, due to her reassuring public appearances, though admittedly scarce, and the wellness check conducted a year prior to my investigation. Silas played the role of the loving, supportive husband very well. It was, dare I say, weirdly wholesome. It was only over the past couple of years that Emry was appearing less and less while Silas appeared more and more as figurehead of the budding enterprise. She was a private person, in love with her art, he’d say, Over the weeks I found myself pouring over legal documents, ledgers and tax forms trying to make sense of what crime, if any, at that point had been committed. Connections to politicians and businesses unrelated to the industry sparked some thought, but nothing illegal yet. After examining Silas thoroughly, the idea that he was some charlatan or opportunist would not surprise me. He had all the motivation and control he needed to commit heinous acts. Though, nothing in what he said was uncouth or obviously corrupt, it was in how he said it. Like everything was a lie he didn’t understand he was telling, or that he believed wholeheartedly himself. It was a confused feeling, but it seemed more and more clear that Silas was manipulating and profiting off Emry. Inexplicably, I found myself looking through some of Emry’s books for the first time, perhaps looking for some kind of message hidden in the text. Some kind of hint to her situation. The first book of hers 1 read was Descriptions of the Corridor, her debut. There was something to this woman, something innately human. At the release, she claimed that the poems therein were spoken aloud by her while she slept. Silas would transcribe her mumblings for her to arrange, compile, and release. Certainly an approach to marketing. 182 Expression Magazine �TheSomnUoQuist ... By my very mode of being I am persecuted By that which descends upon me From both sides. -Night Songs. Emry Anders In Descriptions I found nothing but the surprisingly engrossing view of a young woman’s twilight dream world, full of abstractions, dark twisting narratives, and the hint of great horrors lurking in the dark waters upon which her dream boat rode, I didn't quite understand this at the time, but I had formed the vague idea of someone who was afraid yet completely numb to fear. Her work was like an expression of fear from someone who had conquered it. There was confidence. An ownership of fear. After a month and a half of digging, compiling various records, phony ledgers, and contracts, we finally had what we needed to bring Silas to court. There was a distinct lack of Emry at the proceedings as the charges against Silas were not for a crime against her. He, in fact, extolled her innocence and claimed himself the one responsible for the business side of their small empire, When her time to take the stand came, she returned the favor and defended him with fervor. Was it love that compelled her I wondered. 65th Edition 183 �The SomnilOQUist This muddied the water of the abuse claims, as that was the perfect opportunity to speak up and she didn't. It seemed to me this was some sort of Stockholm syndrome or perhaps Silas was actually innocent of that accusation. What really took me off guard was the inexplicable defense of Silas forwarded by many fans and those in the industry itself. Some of which were those he had allegedly defrauded, and yet they rallied to his aid. Often their claims would fly directly in the face of undeniable evidence. We puzzled over what kind of spell had been cast or blackmail he had to demand such loyalty. Hell, a lot of powerful people lauded his goodwill under oath and praised the majesty of Emry’s art: how it must be protected and any of Silas' wrong doings should be forgiven by sheer virtue of their product. It was a brief yet wild section of the trial that afforded Silas little ground. Around the time of the trial, I found myself engrossed in Emry's liminal Upon the Precipice and Night Songs. These were Emry's break outs, releasing back to back, skyrocketing in popularity seemingly overnight. I found myself really leaning into her work. My free time was consumed by the worlds she imagined. I caught a lot of flack for it at the department, saying I had just learned to read, but I knew there was something to her. To her words, it seemed so incomprehensible that the mild mannered and humble Emry Anders could produce such vivid and alien worlds. I was simply entranced. It wasn't long after that, after only a couple of months of reading, I realized I was falling in love with a poet I’d only ever met once before in a brief pre-trial interview. 184 Expression Magazine �The SomnUoQuist ... drowsy monuments tower over the emptiness... ... every observed particle a slave to this God. - Exhuming Arcana. Emry Anders Silas was losing the trial and facing a minimum of fifteen years in prison. By all accounts, this was a victory, but my job felt incomplete. Emry’s tales of traveling the endless colored abyss of her dreams, seeing through the eyes of great beasts, and the feelings of loneliness previously unimagined left me with an unshakeable feeling that something was truly wrong. Was Silas the omnipotent deity that kept her imprisoned in dark thorns? Was it through his eyes she saw these great truths of the universe? Fitting metaphors for someone locked away by a manipulator. It just made so much sense. The law at that point permitted me a warrant and sent me to the dull green door of the Anders' home. Even now I can’t help but feel like some kind of knight on a quest to save a princess, locked away in a castle. After stewing in her work for months and working the trial, I felt that, finally, I was able to truly repay her. I could really meet the poet of my dreams, not as an interrogator, but as her savior. Perhaps she’d be conjuring her next great poem when we found her in the depths of sleep. That all feels a little childish now, but it is what it is. I loved her. We knocked and no one answered, so we knocked harder until the door fell off its hinges and we went looking for Emry. I remember the scene so vividly. The place was distraught. Smelled of rotten food, ink and 65th Edition 185 �The SomnilDQuisi parchment, and a horrendous body odor. It was dark, the only light crawling in through the cracks in the shutters. A thick dust hovered in near stasis in the stagnant air. The air of imminent death. There was a musty weight to it al! that made me think of some long abandoned tomb. Nearly every surface, including the floor, was covered in piles of loose paper with the maddened, barely English scrawlings of some obsessive wraith, There was a beautiful chaos to it all, like the manifestation of a great artist's insides, spewn relentlessly into the confines of a small home. The dim-lit library of ancients... ... hidden grandeur littered every table... One secret unknowable. -Upon the Precipice The darkened maze that had overlaid itself over the likely once charming home engulfed us as we crept deeper into the crazed depths. Silence and my quickening heartbeat were all I could hear, my mind raced to find yet unthought conclusions. I worried about the fate of Emry when we had not found her, but we still had the basement to search. My heart swelled with the thought of the untold stories that littered the floor we tread upon. I know now how sacred this place was. Finally, in the deepest place of the house, lay a sleeping Emry Anders in a small bed in a dusty, yellow-stained room, illuminated by a single bulb fixture. A moldy IV drip punctured a deep purple bruise on her arm. Dark bags held up her closed eyes and accented her otherwise pale complexion. An oxygen 186 Expression Magazine �TheSonvtUoQuist mask modified with a brown, crusted feeding tube seemed conjoined with her face, edges pressing into her skin. Her chest rose and depressed so lightly, hardly to be noticed. The color of her skin inside the mask contrasting the rest of her unwashed body. She was smalt and frail then, though not always so. A pair of handcuffs fastened her to the headboard leaving dark marks on her wrist. This must have been her longest stint on the other side of dreams. Tucked beside the bed was the only other thing in the room, a modest wooden desk. It clicked into place for me then that the stories were true. This is where he sat while she slumbered in melodic decrepity. I tell you now, this place was a temple to everything wonderful and good, though my peers only saw a trapped and abused woman. They didn't know the truth like I did. We would later find the IV keeping her alive was not as giving as it appeared, if it can be believed. In the concoction was a sedative to keep her asleep. An induced coma where she could dream forever. Muttering her nightmares to Silas so he could push books and make their money, which by the state of the home, seemed unaccounted for. All while her body rotted and her mind swam endlessly in beautiful nightmares. How he escalated this madness, trying to squeeze every drop of that beautiful girl's power. He must have loved her if he waited so long to do this. Oh, the hum of her words. Suffice it to say, Silas died in an asylum not long ago now. After our discovery, he was... undone. No longer able to wear the mask of the charming literary mogul. Attempts to rehabilitate Emry were less than successful. Her body had long resigned to the dream world, incapable of being awake for more than an hour or so at a time. 65th Edition 187 �The SommloQijist In dreaming, I awake... ... I have always coveted separation. - Oceans of Tar She died a few weeks after her "rescue." After years of lying in that bed, days to weeks to possibly months at a time, physically dependent on her medication, the shock of being wrested from it proved too much for her malnourished, fragile body. She was beautiful, I only hope she is dreaming still. I was able to, painstakingly as I mentioned, attain all of her work shortly after this. I assume their families were torn between their lust for knowledge and disgust at what had happened. A weak disposition 1 did not share that cost them everything. I knew something like this, something like what Emry did, does not just happen, and I was plagued with the nagging of needing to know. I saw Emry as the emissary she was, not some victim to a whelp like Silas. I took my pension as soon as 1 could and spent my retirement searching. Searching for the Corridor, I poured through every word she ever wrote and then again and again. Tonight, recent revelations fill me with a motivation I have never quite felt. I know what my life is for now. In my home, which I have inhabited for nearly ten years, I too shall dream a beautiful midnight 188 Expression Magazine �The SomniloQuist dream. I will go to the basement of this old ailing home to meet my love upon the precipice of dreams. I write from the indentations of Emry Anders bed, where you find me now. How her body compliments mine. A solution of my own creation hangs above me, its stinger promising everything that I've searched for. I will find the divine frequencies that echoed through Emry so many years ago now. Oh. how quiet the world has been. To the one who finds me. I leave everything to you. May you take up my kingdom and follow down this chosen path. May you and everyone you love find their way to the beautiful and twisted world of dreams, as we are all compelled to do. Now in sleep, the corridor lay before me. I vibrate in diminishing earth tones. And something faraway awakes... - Descriptions of the Corridor 65th Edition 189 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
