The Rain, As It Knows Us
About the Author
William F. Pattee is an English student and Upstate New York native. Born in Schenectady and raised in Scotia, Pattee’s work, like his first book titled An Uneven Stitch, combines personal anecdotes with societal issues, often through the expression of individual characters and speakers. His literary focus often centers on the reexamination and extension of American literary traditions and how they pertain to readers. Pattee often draws from modernist writing and confessional poetry; his top literary influences include Sylvia Plath, William Carlos Williams, and Ernest Hemingway.
About the Illustrator
Zachary Emerson Ladouceur is an artist, illustrator and designer living in Upstate NY. Often drawing from the challenges and inspirations of the world around him, Ladouceur crafts works in a variety of styles and mediums. The perceived eclectic features of his body of work is a reflection of the ever-evolving pursuit for identity, purpose and belonging. Outside of his endeavors in the arts, Zachary enjoys long walks on the beach, a good glass of Pinot, and not taking himself too seriously. In most matters, he returns to a “We are small, and our time here is short; only pursue that which makes you happy.”

This collection of poems and artwork is always so amazing to read as the writer, William F. Pattee, is a former college classmate of mine. I believe this is my third or fourth time reading “The Rain, As It Knows Us” now, and each time I read it I catch more and different details in each poem and illustration than I did before. The way both the writer and illustrator capture life’s happenings, feelings, and observations is blended so well together. They make a great team and have made a captivating book.
