Poet/author featured
at literature seminar
Norma Faber, award-winning
poet and author, will be featured
Feb. 20-21 at the Texas A&M
University Children’s Literature
of the Sea seminar.
Co-sponsored by the Sea
Grant Program and the English
Department, the program begins
at 10 a. m. Feb. 20 with a pres
entation by Faber in the Memo
rial Student Center ballroom.
Following a luncheon, she will
present a 2 p.m. poetry reading.
Feb. 2Ts Schedule includes a,
10 a.m. address on the creative
process. That also is in the ball
room.
Preregistration for the seminar
ends Feb. 13 and is necessary for
those planning to attend the
luncheon, said director Norma
Bagnall of the English faculty.
“Children s literature of the
sea is a serious study at Texas
A&M, as scientific study is
coupled with the humanistic ap
proach,” Bagnall said.
“The intent is to enable chil
dren to perceive the sea not only
as a fascinating physical reality,
but to consider the sea through
literature as it has been created
since the time of Homer.
Faber has written more than a
dozen picture books, including
“As I was Crossing Boston
Common,” nominated for the
National Book Award.
More than 100 of Texas 373 miles
of shoreline are eroding, claim
Texas A&M University ocean engi
neers, but methods such as offshore
breakwaters, groins, bypass pump
ing, seawalls and planting of vegeta
tion can stop the encroachment.
Erosion, which can move the
shoreline inland as much as 30 feet a
year, is also affecting about 250 of
the state’s 2,125 miles of estuaries,
says Dr. John Herbich and Robert
Schiller Jr.
They call for a “concerted effort
by an aware public working with
existing agencies to protect our
shores.’
The two caution, however, that
poorly placed or designed structures
can do as much harm as good, aiding
erosion of adjacent areas.
The engineers, whose work is
partially supported by Texas A&M’s
Sea Grant Program, also predict
that offshore sand will probably
