| Tim Ziaukas--("Coming to Terms") "One of the great things about feature writing," Ziakas says, "is that it allows you to capture a body of material in your voice at the peak of your knowelege. You have the stages of your life voicedby your work. Writing this story let me capture an excitement, breathe a certian air that would have passed otherwise." | |||
| Valerie Gregg.--(Commons Room "Sereni-tea") Gregg, a Pittsburgh based writer, began her career as a newspaper reporter in North Carolina. An interest in the writing of Joan Didion, Tom Wolfe, and other practitioners of "New Journalism," which borrows narrative and structural elements from fiction, led Gregg to her current work in nonfiction. | |||
