These include, but are not limited to, Ruth Suckow, Ferner Nuhn, Booth Tarkington, Louis Adamic, Sinclair Lewis, Robert Frost, Stephen Vincent and Rosemary Benet, Ogden Nash, Robert Nathan, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Howard Fast, Willa Cather, Black Elk, John Towner Frederick, Grant Wood, and Gertrude Stein
