Inlandia's creative writing workshops program began with one workshop at the Riverside Public Library in 2009 and has expanded to workshops both in person and virtual, with participants from distant continents as well as from the Inlandia region.

The beautiful cover art, "Shared Knowledge" by Charles Bibbs, frames the anthology These Black Bodies Are.... This collection provides snapshots of the human condition in melanated skin and kinky hair from established and emerging writers and artists in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles area, reaching throughout the diaspora. It is an exploration of eight movements: hopeful, mindful (mental health), mystical, enlightened (education), bodacious, bearing witness, eclectic, and transforming (transitioning). These Black Bodies Are... is a reminder that we can, at any stage and age, liberate and empower.

Alaskan State Trooper Jeremiah Boone is not convinced the death of a university student is a random act when he finds a Native Alaskan weapon at the crime scene. Pushed by a political appointee and a fellow officer-turned-politician to disregard his instincts regarding a potential suspect, Boone resigns, leaving the murder unsolved, and the suspect still on the loose.In an unlikely turn of events, the former State Trooper, now a US Marshal, unknowingly comes face to face with the suspect from his unsolved murder in the remotest place on earth, Antarctica. When women assigned at McMurdo Station report being stalked and assaulted, Marshal Boone's instincts return to the former suspect. It's up to him and his deputies to find the person or persons responsible for the assaults.A desperate radio call from a science party in the Antarctic Dry Valley leads Boone on the path toward an encounter with the suspect responsible for assaults in McMurdo. Boone's suspect forces a female science party member further into the remote valley, with intentions to continue his physical assault against the woman. It's up to the marshal to find and confront his suspect before his actions claim another innocent life.

"In Jonathan Maule's elegiac and breathtaking poems, the speaker interrogates the self and ghosts from a violent youth. We see the edges of the horizon, gray and brown from perturbances of distant fires. We know from his lyrical and spacious poems, the fire lines are precarious, and in the breath of a caesura, the spark of their hungers may leap into the places of calm. Knowing this, Maule's speaker attempts to reconcile with his own fires, yearning to read the winds of his past and seeking a way to calm the burning within. This is an extraordinary collection. OLIVER DE LA PAZ"--

The year began as any other. Sure, there had already been whispering on the news about a novel coronavirus taking hold half a world away, but the odds of it affecting us in the United States were... slim? Roll forward to present and we have a new shared lexicon: Masks. Social distancing. Zoom. Quarantine. COVID-19. Inlandia's workshops moved from in-person to a virtual setting, but we would not be deterred. This year's anthology represents the hope and vision of 62 writers, a mix of returning and new participants, from the region and beyond-because with Zoom, geographic boundaries dissolved. Read to discover the art and heart of memoir, the power of plot, food writing, adventures in chronologyland, poet-try and poets in motion, Joslyn joy and tesoros de cuentos. The Writing from Inlandia series was created to celebrate the participants in our creative writing workshops program and to serve as a record of who we are at the present moment. May these writings pay tribute to a year unlike any other.

"A Short Guide to Finding Your First Home in the United States is the latest anthology from Inlandia Books and seeks to capture the experience of immigrants to the Inland Southern California region. Featuring new and collected work by thirty-one writers"--

Many voices from our community make up this collection, comprising many months of working with the Afghan refugees in Riverside, California, who expressed themselves through poetry, prose, and art. Included are selected translations in Pashto and Dari. May these works remind us to reach out, because the stranger may soon become our dear friend.

The voluntary integration of Riverside's schools in 1965 is a local story of national significance told by Arthur L. Littleworth, elected chairman of the school board at that time. While his personal reflections form the core of No Easy Way: Integrating Riverside Schools - A Victory for Community, interviews with numerous community leaders - parents, teachers and students who participated in, and were affected by this struggle bring balance to his perspective. The book, edited by Dawn Hassett, is richly illustrated by maps, original messages, including one from Ronald Reagan to Arthur L. Littleworth, and numerous historic photographs, some never before published, including that of Lowell School after the fire.
