That kind of says it all, doesn't it?
I'll be at the Kirkland Fine Arts Center in Decatur, taking part in a panel discussion on music in downstate Illinois as part of its Small Town America Conference.
"Native American Songs and Poems," edited by Brian Swann, is the little Dover Thrift Editions book of poetry you picked up at the beginning of the semester.
One of the poems, "Cedar Swamp" (p. 38) by Carroll Arnett, or Gogisgi. In his autobiographical essay in "Here First," Gogisgi tells about a time he and Cheyenne poet Lance Henson were hiking in a cedar swamp near Gogisgi's home in Michigan and a brief conversation they had.
What did they say? What did they mean by that? What does it mean to you?
