In August 2014, the BLM hosted Fairbanks writer Ned Rozell as its first summer Artist-in- Residence. Rozell, the author of four books, has written a weekly science column for 20 years for the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Geophysical Institute. He’s also a contributing writer for Alaska Dispatch News.
Rozell spent his residence from Aug. 22 to Sept. 1, in the Yukon River community of Eagle. There, he worked on an old writing project that had languished for years.
