Joanne (Cutten) de Longchamps
Poet
and artist Joanne de Longchamps (1923-1983) grew up in Los Angeles and studied art and music in France. She
came to Reno in 1941 after marrying mining engineer Galen Edward de Longchamps. She pursued her interests in poetry
and art at the University of Nevada, Reno, and began publishing artwork and poems in regional and national magazines
and literary journals. She was a member of the Poetry Society of America, winning its Reynolds Lyric award in 1954.
Her paintings and collages were exhibited at local and regional shows. She received the Carolina Quarterly Annual
Award from the University of North Carolina in 1959. Fifteen of her poems were published in the New York Times from 1963-1972. She was appointed the first Walter Van Tilburg Clark Lecturer in Creative Writing at UNR in 1973
and received the Nevada Governor's Art Award for Literature in 1983. The Schoolhouse Poems (1975) is dedicated
to Walter Van Tilburg Clark and contains the poem, "Late Letter to Walter Clark." Her later work was influenced
by the Second Wave Feminist Movement of the 1970s. The One Creature anthology contains environmental poems.
