Friday, November 6
TodayWar Work: Artists Engage Iraq and Other Wars
10:50 a.m. Convocation: Luci Tapahonso
MOVED to Concert Hall: Luci Tapahonso is an award-winning Navajo poet and short story author. Born on the Navajo reservation in Shiprock, New Mexico, she grew up in a family of 11 children. Navajo was her first language but she learned English before starting school at the Navajo Methodist Mission in Farmington, New Mexico. She majored in English at the University of New Mexico, as an undergraduate and a graduate student. She stayed on there as an Assistant Professor of English, Women's Studies and American Indian Studies for a few years. She has been an Associate Professor of English at the University of Kansas and is now Professor of English at the University of Arizona in Tucson where she teaches Poetry Writing and American Indian Literature. She is the author of three children’s books and five books of poetry. She structures prose and poetry that are mixtures of family stories, Navajo culture and legendary tales. Utilizing many of the same storytelling techniques used by many Native American writers, she highlights aspects of her life that are important to her and has shaped the woman she is today. Unlike most Native American writers, however, Tapahonso’s writing is a translation from original work she has created in her tribe’s native tongue. Her work includes original songs and chants designed for performance. For this reason, her English work is strongly rhythmic and uses syntactical structures unusual in English language poetry. Her poetry and stories are moving and lyrical. The title of her presentation is "A Radiant Curve: Stories and Poems."
