Orleans, Indiana

Orleans DVDAn original film, a project spanning three years of filming and preparation, tells the story of historic Orleans through new and vintage photos and old film footage, as well as through verbal stories presented by local residents and former residents.

Orleans 200 Committee Chair Robert F. Henderson said, "This documentary like movie is something very special. Years after the bunting is down, the fireworks displays have ended, and the bands have quited, this piece of film will serve as a treasured icon of Orlean's historic past and bright future."

"A Town Born of Victory: 200 Years of Triumph" has been designated as an Official Bicentennial Legacy Project by the Indiana Bicentennial Commission in recognition of its relevance to Indiana and the way in which it tells the story of so many rural communities throughout the Hoosier State.

Swimming in the Shallow End

Philip Raisor

Swimming in the Shallow End

Swimming in the Shallow End (Turning Point Books, 2013) is about a town which many Indiana natives could recognize as their own. Specifically located in Muncie, this full-length collection of poems evokes, as one commentator observes, “the experience of living in and coming from this quintessentially American Community—its joys and sorrows, its characters, its feel—in a way no social survey could.”

  • Narrative poetry at its best. A verse memoir that examines the archetypal American conflict between the desire to stay and the passion to go.
  • Take any community; every street, in and out, is crowded with the dreams and frustrations of characters who seek their identities on the road or in their favorite diners.
  • In an exchange of stories between the narrator who returns like the prodigal son and his wayfaring friend, the worlds of the Bronx and Paris and Hanoi are not far from Muncie, Indiana.
  • Like William Carlos Williams’ Rutherford, New Jersey, and B. H. Fairchild’s Liberal, Kansas, Philip Raisor’s Middletown is a neighborhood pool that never seems long or deep enough, but grows large in memory and the imagination.

Hoosiers the Poems

Philip Raisor

Hoosiers

Hoosiers the Poems (Palooka Press, 2013) is a chapbook, which one reviewer observed, “Once you get over the shock of reading a collection about basketball, you find smaller, subtler surprises: a strong voice, a firm grasp of imagery, a slowly developing narrative.” In Hoosiers the poems, Raisor turns to one of America’s great passions: basketball. Fans in the stands, kids on playgrounds, last-second shots, old-timers remembering glory days. Who has not seen ‘Hoosiers’?” Raisor asks, recalling the 1986 movie often identified as one of the sports world’s all-time favorites. Having played in the Indiana state championship game that inspired the movie, and later a teammate of Wilt Chamberlain at Kansas, Raisor reviews that youthful time with a temperate but somewhat jaundiced eye. He replays the humor, drama, and spiritual sustenance of the athletes’ world of the 1950s, but he cannot erase from his mental map the injuries, racism, war, and unfulfilled dreams that girded the social and personal outrage eventually released in the 1960s.

Outside Shooter: A Memoir

Philip Raisor

Outside Shooter

"It is the kind of narrative that gives memoir a good name. A story of such honesty and humor and directness that the reader is made to feel as if he has not merely read about experience but lived through its pulse beat. It is a story that only a few individuals in America could tell this well and with the authority of such details: a coming-of-age story about facing loss and finding love; about the ugliness of racial discrimination and the necessary courage to stand against it; about basketball and dreams; about what divides us and makes us whole. It is a chronicle not only of Phil Raisor's coming of age but America's as well." Michael Pearson.

  • A close analysis of the 1954 state championship game between Milan and Muncie (I was in the game).
  • Remembering Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain
  • Sports and civil rights in Indiana and Louisiana in the 1950s and 60s
  • Growing up in Indiana, finding love, holding on to midwestern values.
