Description

In this audiovisual recording from Monday, April 3, 1989, as part of the 20th Annual UND Writers Conference: “Circle of Many Colors,” Gretel Ehrlich, Richard Ford, and Tobias Wolff participate in a panel called “Landscapes.” The panelists discuss notions of landscape, truth among readers, their ideas of nature and geology, literary perspectives on landscape, relationships between humans and land, what North Dakotans seek in literature, learning the craft of writing through reading, notions of beauty in landscapes, the ability for landscape to evoke language, the responsibility of humans to protect the environment, narrative being confined by landscape, and changing perspectives over time.

Moderated by photographer Sheldon Green.
