The poetry workshop is open to anyone interested in writing. Dr. David Lee notes. 'We wanted to start the Brian Head program off with a bang, and what better person to start with than Richard Shelton, the voice of the American Southwest." Shelton has lived in southern Arizona since 1956. He is a professor of English at the University of Arizona, a member of the board of directors for the Associated Writing Programs and National Honorary Chancellor of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies. The guest poet's first book. The Tattooed Desert, won the International Poetry Forum's United States Award in 1970, and his The Bus to Veracruz was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He has been the recipient of a NEA Writer's Fellowship and three Borestone Mountain Awards, including the First Award in Borestone Mountain's "Best Poems of 1971." Shelton's poetry and prose pieces have appeared in more than 100 magazines and journals including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Kayak, The American Poetry Revies and the Antioch Review. His works have been translated into Spanish, French, Swedish, Polish and Japanese. His works have been set to music and been featured by National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation. The guest poet has read at colleges and universitities through the country, including a guest reading at SUSC last year. In 1974, Shelton established, under the auspices of the Arizona Commission on the Arts, a Writer's Workshop at the Arizona State Prison. Eight books of poetry and prose by the men in that workshop have been published, including the anthology Do Not Go Gentle, now in its second printing. The Workshop was the subject of a documentary film, and as a result of the first program, six Writer's Workshops are now functioning in adult correctional facilities in Arizona. "Richard Shelton is the finest evocator of the American desert writing today or ever," said John Weston in Gramercy Review. |
