For Spacious Skies: Katharine Lee Bates and the Inspiration for "America the Beautiful" | 
Churnin's narrative here is engaging, involving, and perfectly captures the intellectual and emotional significance of Bates' best-known literary creation, the poem that would go on to become the song, America the Beautiful. The accompanying artwork of Olga Baumert, an expatriate Polish illustrator now living in the UK, is beautifully matched to the text, with a folk-art sensibility that I greatly enjoyed.
