    Pacific Rim Literary Conference:
    "Locating the Story: Origins and Destinations"
    March 30-31, 2001

    The Pacific Rim Literary Conference is held on the campus of the
    University of Alaska Anchorage and is organized by UAA graduate students
    and members of Sigma Tau Delta. We welcome papers on all topics
    pertaining to literature, literary studies, and rhetoric. Proposals for
    panels are encouraged. This year we are particularly interested in
    exploring the issue of "sense of place" in narrative. Papers on topics
    such as how location informs stories, how geography shapes narrative, or
    how history affects where stories come from or are going are especially
    welcome. Accepted submissions will be considered for publication in our
    new on-line journal of conference proceedings.

    Jane Urquhart, Canadian author of The Underpainter and Away
