Bill Hemminger, retired professor for the Department of English, has recently authored a book titled Growing Good:  A Beginner's Guide to Cultivating Caring Communities. 

According to Hemminger, "The book focuses on "good works" that take place in the Midwest (mostly in Indiana, many in Evansville). I have also contributed a chapter and a series of poems about the UE Garden, its creation and maintenance.  Within the book, you will also find a chapter about native plants, with information provided by Dr. Cris Hochwender and a biology graduate."

Below is a synopsis of the book (found on the back cover), which is now available for pre-order. The book will officially be available for purchase beginning September 14 and can be found online through Amazon, Target, and more.

Anger and hopelessness can overwhelm communities like weeds. So what can everyday people do to actually grow some good in their own hometown?

Growing Good: A Beginner's Guide to Cultivating Caring Communities shows how ordinary people have transformed themselves into volunteers and activists. Centered mostly in the Midwest, this collection of essays brings together the stories of normal people who have rolled up their sleeves to make their community a better place by serving nonprofits such as Gleaner Food Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana; Migration and Refugee Services in Louisville, Kentucky; and Patchwork Central in Evansville, Indiana, along with national organizations like CASA. For instance, a teacher and his student started a native plant garden to help local insects thrive in a disused corner of their school property. A woman saw a billboard and was moved to become a voice for children in need. A professional photographer offered his services to people experiencing homelessness in order to help others witness their humanity. Editor Bill Hemminger also writes of his own extensive experience with community gardening to feed hungry neighbors.

Filled with simple actions, clear steps, and useful lists, including how to care for and nurture your own inner peace and creativity, Growing Good will help readers of all ages plant seeds of hope and cultivate communities where everyone thrives.

Bill Hemminger is author of African Son, a collection of reflections on his life and work in Africa. He taught for 25 years in the departments of English and Foreign Languages at the University of Evansville and was Chair of the Department of English.
