New Book Day: Songs of the Bunch Grass Acres

Keen-eyed readers of NDQ will remember that in issue 91.3/4 we reprinted a pair of poems from the North Dakota poet Clell Gannon. These poems were meant as a kind of amuse-bouche for the re-publication of Gannon’s Songs of the Bunch Grass Acres.  Today, we are very happy today to

NDQ and Google’s Gemini Notebook LM

Bill Caraher |  Over the last few weeks, I’ve been using Google’s Gemini Notebook LM function to do some remote reading of the first 25 issues of North Dakota Quarterly (1910-1934). This amounts to just under 8500 pages of text. I’m looking to write a short article on these volumes,

Short Take: Thinking Without a Banister

Sharon Carson | It’s not at all surprising that in recent years, readers and activists around the world have turned to the work of Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), a political philosopher preoccupied with human plurality and freedom, with thinking through the contingencies of history, with thinking and acting creatively and collaboratively

Closing Submissions

We understand that we haven’t necessarily been the best at maintaining the blog over the last few months. This is because we’ve fallen behind with most aspects of running North Dakota Quarterly.

NDQ 1

Bill Caraher | Every now and then I dip back into the NDQ archive. Not only can it be pleasant to read some of century-old rumination, but it can often feel prescient. Lately, I’ve been contemplating writing a short history of the first “series” of North Dakota Quarterly published between

I’m tremendously excited to announce the publication of Ismail Gaspirali’s The Muslims of Darürrahat, translated by Çiğdem Pala Mull and edited by Sharon Carson.
