About Author:

Alan Davis grew up in Louisiana and lives in Minnesota. His novel Clouds Are the Mountains of the World is "a compelling vision rendered in language, both surreal and chillingly familiar, that summons the apocalyptic dreams of Bruegel and Bosch." His prize-winning collections of fiction include Rumors From the Lost World and Alone With the Owl, MVP award winners, and So Bravely Vegetative, Prize Americana winner; he co-edited Visiting Bob: Poems Inspired by the Life and Work of Bob Dylan and 10 editions of American Fiction. He taught at Minnesota State, Fairfield University's MFA Program, and the Stonecoast MFA Program, and served as Editor of a national literary press for 15+ years.

HND Value Statement

Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or Humanities North Dakota. However, in an increasingly polarized world, we at Humanities North Dakota believe that being open-minded is necessary to thinking critically and rationally. Therefore, our programs and classes reflect our own open-mindedness in the inquiry, seeking, and acquiring of scholars to speak at our events and teach classes for our Public University. To that end, we encourage our participants to join us in stepping outside our comfort zones and considering other perspectives and ideas by being open-minded while attending HND events featuring scholars who hold a variety of opinions, some being opposite of our own held beliefs.

Humanities North Dakota classes and events are funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities
