Dakota: a Spiritual Geography by award-winning author and poet Kathleen Norris is the Campus Read selection for Fall 2014.
In Dakota, Norris paints “a fine portrait of the High Plains and its people as well as a very personal memoir of a spiritual awakening,” according to Publishers Weekly. First published in 1993, Dakota was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and was also selected as one of the best books of the year by Library Journal.
The Campus Read Committee chose Dakota so we can participate in a joint effort by the North Dakota Humanities Council, the South Dakota Humanities Council, and the 125th Anniversary Committees from the states of North and South Dakota to commemorate the entry of North and South Dakota into statehood with a special One Book collaboration.
Norris will travel around the state this fall as part of the celebration -- including a stop at BSC's campus in early October (date to be determined).
Established in 2000, BSC's Campus Read encourages a shared reading experience among students, employees, and the community.
