CANTON - The Friends of Owen D. Young and Launders Libraries at 
St. Lawrence University will hold a celebration on Friday, April 
5, at 4 p.m. in the Josephine Young Room of Owen D. Young Library 
for Associate Professor of English Natalia R. Singer and University 
Editor Neal S. Burdick, on the publication of the book they edited, 
Living North Country: Essays on Life and Landscapes in Northern 
New York. Singer and Burdick will speak at the event, which is open 
to the public, free of charge.
	Published by North Country Books, Inc., of Utica, it includes 
more than two dozen essays, by established writers as well as newcomers, 
all of whom have ties to the local area. Authors included, in addition 
to Singer and Burdick, are John W. Van de Water, William Gadway, 
Elizabeth Inness-Brown, Alice Paden Green, Tam Lin Neville, Jim Gould,

Paige, Arthur L. Johnson, Heather Allison-Jenkins, Shirley McFerson, 
Maurice Kenny, Carolyn Boggs and Randall T.G. Hill.
	According to the publishers, "Between these covers are open 
spaces, small towns, skeletons in the closets, blue skies, big storms 
and more - all in a region that has never been quite sure how to 
define itself."
	Singer has published a number of short stories and has written 
for national magazines. Burdick, in addition to editing publications 
for St. Lawrence, is the editor of Adirondac magazine and writes 
frequently about the Adirondack region.
