NEW BOOKS BY UCROSS ALUMNI IN 2023

The Ucross library is one of our artists' favorite places. The cozy corner room in the historic Big Red Ranch House is lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves featuring the works of Ucross poets, novelists, memoirists, nonfiction writers, playwrights, visual artists, and more. A clipboard hangs on the wall with a sheet inviting residents to check out a book for recreation or research. 

And every year, the collection expands to include the latest books by our prolific alumni. Explore this year's titles below,* and consider pre-ordering at Bookshop.org or your favorite indie bookstore.

Last January, we published our own book: The Ucross Cookbook: Cooking for Artists on a Wyoming Ranch, featuring works by Ucross alumni. The book features the most popular recipes and stories by beloved long-time chef Cindy Brooks, transcribed by author and alumna Cree LeFavour, along with food and landscape photography by alumna Martirene Alcántara. Ten acclaimed alumni contributed creative passages: author Sigrid Nunez; visual artist Munson Hunt; choreographer Ann Carlson; playwright and screenwriter Doug Wright; writer and poet (and former chef) Brendan Basham; writer, multi-disciplinary composer and performer Karma Mayet; operatic baritone Nathan Gunn; investigative journalist and novelist Suki Kim; composer and playwright Michael R. Jackson; and novelist and nonfiction writer Judith Freeman.

Find The Ucross Cookbook at select bookstores, galleries, and boutiques, or order online here.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ucross Foundation acknowledges with respect that it is situated on the aboriginal land of several Indigenous communities, including the Cheyenne, Crow, and Lakota nations. Indigenous people continue to live in this area and practice their teachings and lifeways. Today, this region remains an important place for many Indigenous peoples. As a Wyoming institution, we recognize and respect this historical context and are working to build reciprocal relationships with the Native nations on whose lands we are situated. In partial fulfillment of that commitment, Ucross established Fellowships for Native American Visual Artists in 2017 and Native American Writers in 2020.
