Description
In this audiovisual recording from Tuesday, March 18, 1980, as part of the 11th Annual UND Writers Conference: “The Storytellers," June Jordan, Leslie Silko, and Richard Kostelanetz participated in a panel called “Beginnings.” The panelists discuss how they came to be writers, how ideas emerge in their writing, the importance of research and reading. June Jordan reads the recently completed first draft of a poem titled “From America: A Poem in Process.” The panelists also discuss the role of memory in imagination, religious training and artistic perspectives, growing from the art of others, argue the difference between poetics and prose and definitions of story through narrative and other forms, establishments that legislate publication and criticism, experimental writing, literary politics, and their felt responsibility as writers of modern art.
Moderated by Dr. Sheryl O'Donnell, Department of English.
