Hiram, U.S.A.: Essays from the Hill

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Literary descriptions written across the eras can lend enormous insight into the flavor and character of a place over time. Samplings of written words by those who walked our trails or ambled along our sidewalks before we did can provide a provocative sense of history and engage our imagination.

Such is the nature of Hiram, U.S.A., a collection of 28 essays written about Hiram, by Hiram students, between 1991 and 2006. The writings that make up Hiram U.S.A. were edited by 15 current Hiram students for their course in professional editing. The book is the first volume of the Lindsey-Crane Book Series, a sequence presented by the Lindsay-Crane Center for Writing and Literature, and devoted to literary responses rooted in the experience of Hiram College.

Subjects range from metaphors about local flower gardens to descriptions of the resting places of the authors’ student predecessors. The editors checked into the facts surrounding the essays and looked up related photos in the Hiram Archives before making all the decisions about the layout and design of the collection. The result is a book filled with literary explorations of Hiram's buildings, cemeteries, gardens – even the old telescope that connects Hiram with the heavens and the universe and even the faces of professors.
