We the Interwoven: An Anthology of Bicultural Iowa 
Andrea Wilson, Sadagat Aliyena, Melissa Palma, Chuy Renteria 
Artisan Gallery 218, 218 Fifth Street, WDM 

Enjoy a lively discussion by the writers who tell the story of a new Iowa. We the Interwoven brings together three Americans whose families have found home in the heartland over the past two generations. This collection brings together a variety of genres, including nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, to represent their unique experiences and amalgamation of influences, from the coast of Azerbaijan to the border towns of Mexico to the archipelago of the Philippines. 

These stories reflect who they were, who they are, and who they hope to become with the help of Iowa's fields of opportunity. While the American Dream may bring to mind the quintessential white picket fence, the American experience it as unique as it is diverse.
