Dine' College 

 

From March 22-24 I will be a visiting writer at Dine' College in Tsalie,  Arizona.Not only am I excited about working closely with young Native writers, but it gives me the chance to hangout (eat) in the southwest. I will be blogging the trip.

After my stint at Dine College I will be heading up to Santa Fe, NM with Orlando White (Dine College faculty) to a reading at the Institute of American Indian Arts by one of my favorite fictioneers Brian Evenson.

Orion Reviews EFFIGIES: An Anthology of New Indigenous Writing, Pacific Rim, 2009 

Fellow IAIA Alums dg nanouk okpik and Cathy Rexford are included in this dazzling anthology.

"THE NONHUMAN WORLD doesn’t speak our language. At least not here, not now. Thus poetry can be an act of translation, and reading poetry an act of immersion. In every poem, language—and the world—is further illuminated. We’re taught how to listen, how to see. In Effigies, four voices emerge to shatter our perceptions about the world. Cathy Tagnak Rexford, dg nanouk okpik, Brandy Nalani McDougall, and Mahealani Perez-Wendt bring us alchemical dispatches from the far reaches of America: Hawaii and Alaska."

Talk at Ten Interview 

Here is a link to an interview I did with Alice Jennings on Marfa Public Radio.The interview was conducted during my Lannan Residency Fellowship.

I say "sort of" a million times which may have been the result of nervousness, but I think the poems are read well.

Let me know what you think! You can jump to the interview by clicking the photo or you can jump to the file Here.
