Letterfromhome

‘You dared us to write’ By Jean Rukkila

A fistful of letters to the fire lookout

I

tip back in a stout red wood chair to read mail at the lookout.

When I leap up excited to write a reply to a good letter— BAM!—the feet crash with a metallic bang on the catwalk before I go inside to make the typewriter chatter with sentences. Beginning with Flo who sent a calligraphic meditation on the letter R until a couple of weeks ago when a woman living along the Rio de Flag observed, “the yucca in my yard sent up 5 stalks instead of the usual 2,” dozens of you readers responded to my May invitation to send me letters with the news of your one and only day. “At first I feared that they wouldn’t have envelopes at Walmart, across from us at the Motel 6 here, but then I found them,” wrote a retired attorney from southern Arizona. She and her husband read my column while on a week’s road trip to Flagstaff, and eager to engage in snail mail with a fire lookout, she wrote me three pages on a yellow legal pad to describe the books bought and their hike on Bill Williams Mountain. She even included a simple drawing of her dog asleep by the side of their bed. And she wrote, “We were surprised to see stamp machines in the Flagstaff post office. They took them out in Tucson.”

I wrote back to her, “Kind of like phone booths, stamp machines, eh? Now you see them, now you don’t!” And I described a raven going by with something orange in its mouth.

“What could it be? Maybe that bird went all the way down to the campground at the foot of the mountain? Grabbed an orange peel?” And I mused and doodled and then sent the letter off with a couple of hikers who had climbed to the tower with their collie dog.

On my next day off I found in my PO Box an envelope from Amarillo, Texas, with a hand cancellation “First Day of Issue” on that lovely Forever stamp, PLANT for more BEAUTIFUL STREETS.A 74-year-old widow said she picked up Flag Live while “eating the most delicious hamburger at Mamma’s Café,” and then described her travels to see all 50 states. “Flagstaff, Arizona was the last one on my bucket list.” I wrote to Texas to say I haven’t been to all 50 states yet, but “meanwhile I savor the bird voices and wind sound, the passing clouds and rainfall. Rainbows, too. Sometimes I’m looking down through the arc of a rainbow! Haven’t spotted any pots of gold, however. Darn.”

If I could capture a pot of gold, I’d head out like that Texas gal with a Senior Pass, and I’d explore national parks from coast to coast to coast. But meanwhile receiving mail to savor at the lookout was a pot of gold. One letter came from a desk clerk at a motel who has 12 rescued cats and another arrived from a therapeutic musician who plays “for people with special needs and elderly in nursing homes and at the hospital.” One fat envelope had seven pages inside. I write long letters myself when

12 from 2:30–3:30 p.m. finding my way through a thicket of experiences; what fun to get one! It came from an ex-student who spotted the address for me in the newspaper. What a pleasure to unfold multiple paragraphs of his sense-making again.

I liked the stamps: the Queen in a blue hat for her birthday brings a letter from Australia and there is Akhenaten on a stamp hand cancelled in Egypt, sent by a Chandler woman who waited until she was on a dive boat in the Red Sea to mail her card that shows mountain peaks and a quote by John Muir, “Going to the woods is going home.”

You readers sent enough postcards one could tape them in place to completely cover up a small television set. Except I don’t keep a television set at the tower, so I thumbtacked cards to the white ceiling where I could travel through them as I lay on the cot bed. I peered at a rectangle of “Hola!” from Los Cabos showing palm trees and white beaches. Others showed the arch of the bridge in Sydney Harbor and the inviting Gold Coast of Australia. Another featured a treasure from the Medici Collection in a museum in Florence, Italy. It was a bejeweled monkey with a staff and pack; I set it hiking across my ceiling past lava meeting the sea in Hawaii, and serene cats with bowties and sunglasses, Provincetown street color, Kansas sunflowers, the Pluto discovery photographs, and a pink humid sunset over Everglades National Park. A postcard of New York City arrived, and when I looked at the Statue of Liberty, I remembered climbing the stairs to her head when I was a girl.

“My first fire lookout?” I murmured, thinking maybe my lifetime of climbing stairs toward a big view began inside that strong woman in a harbor.

On a card of the Boundary Waters from St. Paul, Minn., a woman wrote, “Paddled to Clark Island and set camp in a downpour,” which made me drool to camp again. And then there came a postcard from the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair in Denver and I thought, “Must do road trip, with camping.”

While I waited for hikers to come by who might take my mail, I drew on envelopes with pen and watercolor: clouds, cans of lunch, shapes of peaks. And you readers sent color to me: a raven dressed in a pink tutu! A rich collage of forest freshness made from orange, green and blue squares. And a drawing with purple marker that depicted me on my tower with my hair standing out like porcupine quills, which is about what sitting through a lightning storm feels like! (Thanks Sharon, Denise and Merah!)

A woman in Sedona who used to live in Flagstaff and liked to read “Letters from Home” with her lunch at the old New Frontiers wrote she still makes a habit of finding the paper when she returns to town for the altitude and a haircut. “There is a permission granted in your words,” she writes. “They are relaxed and lyrical.” I wrote back to her, “7 years ago Tony Norris approached me at the library with his vision of a column shared by local writers. I’m a lucky gal to keep such company.

Glad you enjoy it.” And that’s the truth.

A native of Arizona, Jean Rukkila is a fire lookout and writer who has taught journal-keeping as a visiting artist in schools around the state and in writing classes at Coconino Community College. See more of her writing at www.flagstaffletterfromhome.com.

Know thyself

By Kelly Poe Wilson

O

n the last night before my daughter, Clementine’s, departure for a freshman “team-building” trip, all of the students and their families met in the dining hall for a farewell dinner. As we were sitting at a group table the main topic of conversation naturally turned to the upcoming trip, which was not only going to involve staying in a cabin, but also a ropes course and PowerPoint presentations. It was like an unholy trifecta of all the things Clementine hates. And so, when it came time to speak her views on the trip, she spoke about her hatred of all things camping. Not angrily. Not petulantly. Just factually. The question was something along the lines of, “Are you excited about the retreat?” and her answer was an honest, “No. I hate camping.”

Which made the response of the father sitting across the table from us all that more bizarre.

“Oh,” he pooh-poohed (this was the first time I’d ever actually seen someone poohpooh something, but that is definitely what it was), “you’ll love it.”

Both Clementine and I stared at him blankly for a minute, until I said—in the tone of someone who is trying to explain to a drunk person that the reason their shoe keeps biting their hands is because they are, in fact, trying to wear the cat—“No, she won’t.” He, of course, pooh-poohed that as well. “It’ll be fine.”

This non sequitur threw me enough that I was able to (somewhat) gracefully back out of

When you understand you the conversation, leaving me alone to quietly ponder a question that has plagued me for decades: At what age are you finally allowed to know your own mind?

I understand the reasoning behind denying someone autonomy when they’re two. It is pointless to tell a 2-year-old that they will need to wear mittens while they are building a snowman; you just put the mittens on them.

But if you try to do the same to a 22-year-old, you are likely to get punched in the face. Why?

Because you are assuming that, for whatever reason, they are incapable of knowing whether or not their own hands are cold.

The cynic/realist in me thinks maybe this is only true for half of the population. Maybe it’s not a matter of how old you are, but how male. I’m pushing 50, and I’ve had people tell me to “Smile: it’s not that bad,” as if they were more capable of assessing the current state of my life than I was. I’ve never heard of a man being told the same thing. (I also have never

I think my main problem with the father at the dinner table was that his attitude was not just dismissive, but dangerous.

Sure, a lifetime of telling someone else what they think and feel might create an obedient child, but it doesn’t do much to help create an independent adult.

heard of a man being told that they’d “be a whole lot prettier if they smiled,” but that’s a subject for another column.)

I think my main problem with the father at the dinner table was that his attitude was not just dismissive, but dangerous. Sure, a lifetime of telling someone else what they think and feel might create an obedient child, but it doesn’t do much to help create an independent adult.

I think child development experts believe that children first start to differentiate themselves from others as early as age 2—by the time they are five they are old enough to have very firm, and differing, opinions. Which isn’t to say that those opinions can’t be childish. Or misguided. Or subject to change. But that is as true for a 50-year-old as it is a 5-year-old.

And the fact is that, on this particular subject, Clementine did not change her mind.

She no more liked camping after she came back then she did when she left. (Huh. Camping in Georgia in August didn’t make her a convert. Go figure.)

She also had one more thing to add to the list of things she hates: other people’s obnoxious fathers.

Kelly Poe Wilson has lived in Flagstaff since 1985. She lives with her wonderful husband, Jim, and her dreadful children, Clementine and Clyde. More of her work can be found at www. kellypoewilson.com.

“Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, keep them doggies rollin’, man my a** is swollen, Rawhide! Get ‘em up, move ‘em out, wake ‘em up, get ‘em dressed, get ‘em shaved, comb their hair, Rawhide! Tie me down, tell me lies, pull my hair, smack my thighs—with a big wet strap of, Rawhide!” sings Billy Crystal’s character Mitch Robbins in the 1991 film City Slickers. To that same effect, though with real deal cowboys, comes a new film, Unbranded. With 50,000 unwanted wild horses currently in government holding facilities waiting to be adopted, the documentary follows four men as they travel 3,000 miles from the Arizona-Mexico border north to the Canadian line on the backs of 16 mustangs adopted and trained to travel across some of the wildest terrain in the American West. For bold adventurers, Unbranded, the Audience Award Winner at this year’s Telluride Mountain Film Festival, offers up a different, visually stunning look at the personal journey—focusing on not only self-discovery, but our country’s larger complex horse controversy in an attempt to prove these majestic animals’ worth.

The Allman Brothers, let’s face it, are one of the best bands out there. And the chance to check out the great work of one of the Allmans’ offspring is always a worthy endeavor. In this case, Devon Allman, son of the famous Gregg Allman, will be taking the stage in Flagstaff this week. While Devon has been associated with two notable bands, Honeytribe and Royal Southern Brotherhood, he hits the stage under the Devon Allman Band banner. The story about this guy is always an interesting one, as he supposedly garnered little initial influence from his father or his father’s music in his early years. He reportedly did not meet his famous dad until he was a teenager, and by that point he had already found his influences elsewhere. However, in his bonding with his father and his growing relationship with him, Devon started to commit deeper to his craft, according to later interviews. His latest record is Ragged & Dirty (2014), and it takes a different direction from previous records as it works to channel electric Chicago blues to stunning and stirring effect.

Get it going at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz. Music gets going at 7 p.m. with Heartwood. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 the day of the show. 226-8669. www.devonallmanband.com.

On a Sunday night after taking in some poetry in the Zane Grey Ballroom, I only made it as far as the Weatherford’s Hotel’s mezzanine where they were leading an impromptu jam session with what I presume was a group of local players. Not really a huge fan of the genre, I found myself sitting and listening for nearly an hour, wrapped up in the beautiful swath of strings and instrumentation filling the room. Only two months later the duo returns amid a busy world-touring schedule for another go ‘round much to the delight of our town’s many adoring Irish and Scottish roots music fans. With Cassie on the fiddle and the impressive guitar, piano and vocal work of Maggie, the sisters deftly encapsulate the traditions of Maritime Canada from which they come.

And need we say more, they’re also extremely easy on the eyes, which never hurts fighting chances when it comes to music. See them perform at the Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N. Ft.

Trapped inside of these bars

BIO adversity

By Andrew Wisniewski

T

he other day my co-worker, Diandra, an avid moped enthusiast, shot up from her desk all hot and bothered. She had just watched the newly released Macklemore and Ryan Lewis video for “Downtown,” where the duo and crew purchase “mopeds” and ride and ridiculously dance their way around town for reasons still undiscovered. Thinking, Here we go again, another over-the-top song and video from the Seattle-based hip-hop duo that found themselves under the spotlight with 2012’s “Thrift Shop,” I watched the video.

Where “Thrift Shop” was straight-up silly yet enjoyable with a fun message about adorning hand-me-downs, “Downtown,” which in many ways parallels the look and style of that chart-topping track, takes it a less-attractive step further. It’s dumb, really. At one point Macklemore is riding around on a motorcycle with a full-on moose head between the handlebars, there’s a Ken Griffey look-alike catching a fish at the market, not to mention Foxy Shazam’s Eric Nally riding an eagle-head chariot pulled by four motorcycles circa the epic cinematic masterpiece Ben Hur. But I digress. Diandra’s beef wasn’t so much with the song or video itself as it was with the fact that at no point in the video does anyone ride an actual moped, but rather, scooters.

Now, I don’t want to play the role of cynic—it’s not in my nature. I’m a fan, and have been for a while. Though, as Ben Haggerty, aka Macklemore, moves further into his career, I’ve found myself struggling to stay connected to the music.

It was 2010 when I was first introduced to “The Town,” a track cut in a similar vein to duos like the Blue Scholars and Common Market before him that captured—at least from an outsider’s perspective—the raw sound of new Northwest hip-hop. I was entranced by that song, and I wanted to hear more, so I dug. What I found was 2005’s Language of My World, produced by Budo, an album that more often than not falls in line with what I’ve come to love so much about hip-hop, conscious or otherwise—label it what you want.

“White Privilege” traces being a white rapper and gives a sincere nod to a culture and burden that white people simply became a part of and will never truly understand, while “I Said Hey” speaks to putting one’s heart and passion into the music in an ever88

lasting attempt to “make it” as an artist, and “Inhale Deep” opens the door to breaking free from and finding peace and success outside of addiction. The majority of the album’s 20 (count ‘em, 20!) other cuts are lyrically on point and easy to connect to, and the beats are headnodic.

That same year (2010) I had the chance to see Macklemore alongside new producer Lewis at the Red Owl in Phoenix. Roughly 40 hip-hop heads got down to a great set, and after, I got to meet the duo. As nice and humble as any artists I’ve ever met, we talked about staying true to the music and keeping the “filthy” vibe of Seattle alive.

Two years later “Thrift Shop” came out and I found myself back at the Red Owl to a sold out and completely different crowd filled with sloppy frat and sorority types. No doubt they were there for the music, but was it hiphop or hype that pulled them in?

Diandra’s frustration came only a few days after I thought to myself, I wonder what Macklemore’s up to?, and the first hit my Google search received seconds after that thought was a 10-minute E! Online video briefly chronicling the artist’s rise to fame and all that comes with the success, both good and bad. In it, he talks about the criticism of his music being labeled as “not hip-hop” and that the duo will never make another “Thrift Shop.”

I thought, Alright, taking it back. Cool. And then came “Downtown,” the complete opposite of what I expected—a radio-friendly “not hiphop” pop track designed for mass appeal that, at least to me, goes against the messages being preached in those earlier songs.

A sort of silver lining, I suppose, is that since that debut album Macklemore’s always mixed in goofy, playful songs with the heavier ones. 2012’s The Heist had great tracks like “Same Love,” “Make the Money” and “Starting Over,” but I think it’s interesting how those catchy pop-heavy tracks always seem to find a wider audience, and how in turn, that seems to influence and change the music—sometimes not for the better.

In the 2005 track “I Said Hey,” Macklemore sings, “Now I don’t know if it’s the clothes, the hoes, or the cars/That makes people rap like they’re trapped inside of these bars.”

And that’s the question flying around on the back of a golden eagle: Is he trapped inside of these bars?

or a long time we’ve wanted to find a way to represent and connect with the outdoor community here in Flagstaff. The question

always has been: How? Whether it be rafting, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, backpacking, fishing, hang gliding or even just a lazy day at the creek, adventure sports and an appreciation for the great outdoors are a key driver of why so many of us love and live in northern Arizona.

And with these glorious moments spent in Mother Nature’s untamed heart come stories. Some are easy where everything went as planned—others not so much. In the catalogue of oral history exist epic tales, jawdropping occurrences of harrowing rescue, and those that are just downright hilarious.

Let’s call them “misadventures.” With all of the people who live here and either regularly work, play or are in some way connected to the outdoors, we thought, why not try and tap into some of these stories? We’re calling it “BioAdversity.”

So, here’s the plan: we want to hear your outdoor misadventures. We’ll keep a similar format to the former “News Quirks,” running a handful of submissions per week that you, the reader, send our way whenever you have them, (and we know you have them). Whether “that one time” was last week or buried deep

in the past, we love adventure.

Please keep them to a couple paragraphs crafted at the computer or even eked out on your phone’s notes app. All great stories have titles, and of course we need your first and last name. Submit these incredible tales of outdoor misadventure to Andrew Wisniewski at andyw@flaglive.com. The story doesn’t have to have taken place around northern Arizona—it can be anywhere. But please do tell us where it did happen. And as for any other parties involved, we ask that you please mask their names for anonymity’s sake.

We’ll run a new batch every week. And please note that published submissions remain the rights of the writer, and no compensation will be offered for publication. We look forward to hearing your stories, and sharing with readers as we move forward into September!

Stark Craven mad A retrospective of the Nightmare creator

L

ast week we bid farewell to horror film legend Wes Craven. Craven died on August 30 at the age of 76. While he may not be a household name in every circle, it is very likely that you have seen at least one of his films. Let’s face it, even if you don’t know who Wes Craven is, you know about Freddy Krueger. Then there is this other franchise you may have heard of, Scream.

Oddly enough, my personal favorite has nothing to do with Elm Street, Scream or even The Hills Have Eyes (another of Craven’s franchises). It’s Swamp Thing (1982). Written and directed by Craven, Swamp Thing walks that line between classic action/horror and campy B movie with grace and dignity. Well, that’s clearly an exaggeration, but Swamp Thing is still a fun film packed with ’80s goodness and Craven’s storytelling style.

Craven’s real claim to fame is the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. While writing and directing only the first (also the best) installment, the franchise has nonetheless gone on to produce five direct sequels, two spinoffs and a horror anthology show called Freddy’s Nightmares (1988–1990). The first of these films, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), was at one point in my life the scariest movie I had ever seen. Even if you can’t stand horror movies, you might want to give Craven a nod for this film since it represents the first outing

for one Johnny Depp. You may have seen him around; he’s been in a few movies here and there.

Considered by many to be his seminal achievement, New Nightmare (1994) had Craven back in the role of both writer and director. It’s a bit of a mind bender that has Krueger trying to push his way into the real world through a new Nightmare on Elm Street film.

With cast from the original film, and Craven himself, playing themselves on the set of the movie within a movie, it provides an excellent capstone to a franchise that had wandered away from its original quality.

This kind of meta-movie worked well in Craven’s hands, and a similar theme served him well in Scream (1996). Though Craven did not write any of the Scream scripts, he did direct all four films and his style is prolific within the series.

These films may not be the best of the best, but they are memorable and had broad public appeal. Perhaps the coolest thing about watching a Scream movie is the characters’ understanding that they are in a horror movie, allowing the films to poke fun at their own genre.

Craven may not have won any Oscars for his efforts, but his influence on the horror genre is lasting. I for one am saddened that we will not be able to see his next creation, or even a fifth Scream film directed by the master of horror himself, Wes Craven.

BY DOUGLAS McDANIEL

Disney Canyon, um, land As falls Bedrock City, so falls the amusement park dream in northern Arizona

‌W

ay out there northwest of Flagstaff, where the spaces are wide, great ancient emptinesses leading 30 or so miles to the Grand Canyon, is a monument to the human desire to entertain, or, at least, amuse. It is a cure to the are-we-there-yet-itis.

If you are 7 years old, the Bedrock theme park might seem pretty cool. Teenagers might be indifferent, unless they are looking to make a quirky YouTube video, because for that generation the Hanna-Barbera cartoon is only a part of the collective memory, not an actual one, since they were born too early to see the Flintstones.

An adult might look upon it now and perhaps feel a bit sad because Bedrock City is about a faded era, faded dream. ‌Sadness, too, for baby boomers trying to remember what it was like when, say, the old Legend City theme party near the Papago Peaks in Phoenix was actually cool. Back in the 1960s, before and just as that generation was first touring Disneyland—when the mere sight of a simple dino statue was delight enough. By the time Bedrock City was constructed in 1972, the Magical Kingdom had already mastered the art of moving amusement park parts—Pirates of the Caribbean was already five years old, the Haunted Mansion three years old. Now it’s a lonely park amid the great wide emptiness between Williams and the Grand Canyon, a mere roadside oddity, like one of the quirky museums you see out in the middle of nowhere along the highways in Nebraska and Kansas, with Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty still waving, yes, as imaginatively rendered as ever, but in need of an upgrade.

It’s for sale now, with the asking price of $2 million. Thirty acres now available, as the Bedrock City website states, for such development opportunities as a “casino, outlet mall, resort, time shares.”

This development vibe is a common theme in northern Arizona, especially when it concerns anything near the Grand Canyon, where the unified field theory is that if they are already coming, you should build it. Nearby Grand Canyon National Park has seen a 17 percent visitation increase this year, and is on pace to break its previous visitation record of 4.8 million people, set in 1997, and as David Uberuaga,

park superintendent, recently told The New York Times, “Everybody wants to make a buck off the canyon.”

In this case, “everybody” includes the Grand Canyon Escalade, a $1 billion project that would allow for commercial development on the Grand Canyon’s southwestern rim, running a gondola from the top of the canyon to the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers. “Everybody” also includes

those interested in theme park planning in Williams: the amusement park rides, the adventure course, the wilderness amphitheater, the hotel and spa being set aside on 488 acres. According to the Granger Group in Michigan, the developer behind the plan, these amenities could make $300 to $500 million annually and draw anywhere from two to four million people. Still another group in Williams wants to come up with a renaissance theme park.

All of this after the success of the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a transparent horseshoeshaped cantilever bridge on the edge of a side canyon in the Grand Canyon, run by the Hualapai Indian tribe for eight years.

Everybody is coming to the canyon. The engines of tourism and growth are turning, turning …

But if heights are a natural resource in the region, water is trickier to come by, and one wonders how the plateau can cope with the Disneyfication.

Indeed, Bedrock City is a pioneer. Yep, it’s a real dinosaur. Something to look upon and wonder about. After more than 40 years at the junction of State Highways 64 and 180, it has proven itself to be, as a family business, a sustainable enterprise that never wanted to take too big a bite out of the environment. This, without hardly any moving parts. Though not as kinetic as the fabulous plans of this day and age, the site is a kind of national monument to the boomer generation. The fact that owners are suggesting something as fantastic as a casino and time shares is an indication that well, the boomers have grown up. Cartoon monoliths are, apparently, not enough.

Bedrock City was founded by Linda Speckels and her late husband, Francis “Hudi” Speckels in 1972. It was the follow-up to a similar family endeavour in South Dakota, a Bedrock City built in Custer, a fully licensed “Flintstones Park” set as a tourist trap for visitors to the site of the historical Battle of the Little Big Horn. It was from an age when family station wagons ruled the road, and one can almost imagine, in that collective cultural memory, the Griswald family checking it out on the way to Wally World (the scenes deleted due to copyright concerns). From the heights of “Mt. St. Wilma” to the back of the brontosaurus, the prehistoric theme fit the region of volcanoes and dinosaur tracks and the walk through time that is the Grand Canyon.

Bedrock City now includes an RV Park, convenience store, restaurant and gift shop, but if it is turned into something different as suggested by possible new development, what will become of that relic of a day and age when gee whiz was just enough? Only the Grand Poobahs of this day and age know for sure.

I

n the churn of procedural, ho-hum, controversial and sometimes downright silly pieces of Arizona legislation (like when we became the second in the nation to adopt a State Gun, the Colt Single Action Revolver), the state senators and representatives of Arizona did something many of the state’s literari applauded in 2012. They passed and then-Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law S.B. 1348. This created the first-ever Arizona Poet Laureate.

A CONVERSATION WITH ARIZONA POET LAUREATE ALBERTO RÍOS

By Seth Muller

Brewer did another great deed when she appointed Alberto Álvaro Ríos the state’s inaugural poet laureate in 2013. Not only is Ríos a wildly talented writer who pens heart-stopping and sometimes funny and sometimes daring poems, he also has strong ties to the state, as he grew up along the ArizonaMexico border near Nogales.

Ríos’ father was from Mexico and his mother was from England, and his heritage and upbringing has led to a cross-national voice that is rare and beautiful. The state’s poet laureate role is one of literary ambassadorship, but the presence of Ríos—appointed for two years to the end of 2015, and who recently accepted a second term that goes to the end of 2017¬—brings a great cultural diplomacy as well.

The esteemed poet has published 10 works of poetry, including his latest, A Small Story About the Sky. He also has three collections of short stories, including The Iguana Killer: Twelve Stories of the Heart. It’s considered a

classic piece of Chicano literature and has won several awards. And Ríos was nominated for the National Book Award in 2002 for his poetry collection, The Smallest Muscle in the Human Body.

It feels right to have Ríos as the headliner for the Northern Arizona Book Festival’s relaunch this week and weekend. His presence and blessing on the event as the state’s preeminent poet makes the proceedings all the richer as the event returns from a two-year hiatus.

Catch Ríos at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen, on Fri, Sept. 11 at the “Return of the Writer Reading,” which also features Chelsea Burden, Emma Canning, Nicole Walker and Shonto Begay. It runs from 7–9 p.m.

Admission is $10. Learn more at www.nazbookfest.org/wp.

Ríos spoke with me over the phone to talk about poetry, inspiration, family history, and his planned visit to Flagstaff. We also talked about Huckleberry Hound.

Stories of the Heart, Stories of the Sky Seth Muller: I want to jump right in with a poetry question. One of my all-time favorite poems of yours is ‘Refugio’s Hair.’

I love that it’s a fable but also appears to be a narrative poem based on an actual event—and it has the harrowing scene when a man named Uncle Carlos puts Refugio bareback on a runaway horse with a baby in her arms. That image always haunts me. So, can you speak about the background of this poem? Is this a true family story? Did that really happen?

Alberto Ríos: This particular poem came out of a shock of a family story about my uncle, Carlos. If you had a family in Mexico, somewhere there is a family ranch and a farm.

And my Uncle Carlos was at that ranch. It was a fruiting ranch and we would go visit him. As a kid, it was like visiting the Garden of Eden.

He’d say to us, ‘You boys just climb up in the trees and get whatever you want.’ And when we were done we’d have fruit juice running down our mouths … I loved those visits and remember thinking he was such a great guy.

And he’s referenced in some of my earlier poems. I held him in reverence.

I was home a number of years ago and my father got a phone call. And he just blanched and we had this short conversation. He said, ‘You probably don’t remember my Uncle Carlos, but he just died.’ And I was shocked.

‘Of course I remember Uncle Carlos!’ But I realized I never voiced anything about him out loud. So I was struck by how much my father didn’t know about how much I remembered Uncle Carlos.

Then, later, I was talking to my Aunt Norma and I said, ‘Isn’t it sad about Uncle Carlos?’ And she said, ‘It isn’t sad. It isn’t sad at all! He was the meanest man who ever lived!’ So then she tells me this story that became ‘Refugio’s Hair.’ The story I tell is mostly how I remember it, but there’s a little bit of culture play here, where the hair takes on a life of its own. In English, you would say, ‘I dropped a glass. I did it.’ A focus on the I and the me. In Spanish, that same moment would be rendered in a different way, like ‘The glass, it fell from me.’ Maybe I dropped it. Maybe it wanted to fall. It suggests the possibility of the inherent life in things. So, in the poem, the hair came alive. è 15 Sept.10–16, 10–16,2015 2015| |flaglive.com flaglive.com 15 Sept.

"Suddenly, I saw the world differently, and in an extreme way.

It shocked me.

And I owned it. I owned the color blue."

Family lore and your connections to family come up often in your poems. Can you talk about some of the other poems inspired by your family members or your connection to them?

I have a poem in my collection, The Smallest Muscle in the Human Body, and it’s a mediation in a number of parts on dying and death. And it has one part that I think of as a very resonant moment before I talk about my father dying. I write in there, ‘The reason you can’t lose weight later on in life is simple enough/It’s because of how so many people you know have died,/And that you carry a little of each of them with you.’ And I feel that’s true when it comes to family. You carry them with you in some way. And so I’ve written a lot about family … I also have another poem about my grandmother called ‘Day of the Refugios.’ That day (the Saint’s Day of people named Refugio) also happens to be the Fourth of July. So, there were always fireworks. It was confusing to me because I thought, ‘Wow, everyone must really love my grandmother.’

I have to ask, too, what is the smallest muscle in the human body and what does it have to do with poetry?

The smallest muscle in the human body is the stapeius, and it’s in the ear. It’s the only muscle that doesn’t have blood vessels. It just couldn’t take it. I have a poem in the book where I write, ‘The ear is so sensitive that the body, if it heard its own pulse,/Would be devastated by the amplification of its own sound.’

Along with family and interesting humanbody references, your poems often reflect your love of language itself. In the poem ‘That Thing,’ you start off: ‘No word rhymes with silence, or tries to./No word wants to visit that furtive backyard garden.’ It’s interesting to read the way you personify and explore words. Can you talk about how your interest in language itself informs your poems?

There is the great poster that is based off an image by artist René Magritte, and it has a painting of a pipe and the words ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe.’ French for ‘This is not a pipe.’ So, what

it says is that the image of the pipe is not the thing, but also the word pipe is not the thing.

When I think about that notion, it weighs on me quite a bit. The words themselves are not the thing. They are simply words. So, I explore them quite often as their own entities. What are they trying to tell us? Where are they trying to lead us? To think about it that way also means the words themselves might have agency. They might act on their own and have power that way.

I find that those ‘what are words up to’ poems have a sense of humor to them, as well. Can you share what you see as the importance of using humor in poetry?

I am a fan of everything being present in poems, everything we can do and feel, and that includes humor. I never shy away from it.

It’s a natural part of who I am, so it’s part of my voice. I’m not afraid of humor. I think it lends something to the complexity of voice. I think absurdism and humor give us time to smile and laugh out loud.

You are a poet who is fluent in two languages, English and Spanish. In what ways has being bilingual influenced your poetry and your voice?

I think that idea of moving from the ‘I’ as the center of everything is a big part of it … I mentioned my grandmother’s Saint’s Day poem. We celebrated her birthday on that day. What happens in Latin American often, in general, people celebrated your Saint’s Day. Your birthday, that one day you were born, separates you from people, while the Saint’s Day connects you … There’s also this wonderful idea of how much we are related to each other (in Latino culture and in the language). There’s a wonderful word, Tocayo.

This is someone that has the same first name you do. Having the same first name is perceived as a kind of relationship, almost like cousins … Another thing about the Spanish language is that it’s engendered. And this suggests that the world is alive with itself. So, I think that influences what I do as well. It gives me license to understand the possible.

I saw you at the Tucson Festival of Books in 2014 and you told a story about Huckleberry Hound that I loved, because you talked about how you came to own a certain color. Can you share that story here?

So, in 1960, I had saved enough box tops and sent away enough to become a member of the Huckleberry Hound Club. I was 8 years old at the time. One day, I got a big envelope in the mail with my name on it. I got it. It was for me. This was mine. A signet ring came out of the envelope, and it was from the Huckleberry Hound Club. And then I found these 8x10 glossies of the gang and there, among them, was Huckleberry Hound. And he was blue! I grew up with a black-and-white television. So, I did not know that he was blue. Maybe if I grew up in the South and I knew what a huckleberry was, I might have figured it out. But I didn’t know. Suddenly, I saw the world differently, and in an extreme way. It shocked me. And I owned it. I owned the color blue.

With that memory in mind, I wonder if you know of a moment in your life that you decided you wanted to be a poet? What was going on or what changed?

I just always did it. It was probably one of things I always did. I know I can date it back to the second grade. For me, poetry has nothing to do with pencil and paper. It has to do with imagination. I was a good student and I would finish early and I would look out the windows. And one day I was caught in the egregious act of daydreaming. The teacher called my parents in and everything. But my parents, they never brought it up again.

They didn’t react to me getting in trouble.

Nothing … I always liked listening to stories and I liked thinking about them. So, if you get told of the story of Coronado, if you get told the story about this explorer, you want to explore and think about exploring. In the second grade, you can’t even cross the street without holding someone’s hand, but you can explore in your imagination. And I always loved that.

A sound so bright Flagstaff indie-folk duo documents road travels with songs of dislocation, freedom

Jacquelyn (left) and Donivan Berube, aka Blessed Feathers, perform in March 2014 at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, Wis. Photos by CJ Foeckler

‌‘W

e were barefoot in our blue jeans,” sing the Blessed Feathers, a for-themost-part-Flagstaff-based duo, who are redefining the traveling troubadour lifestyle going back to Jack Kerouac, turning their adventures into songs, mostly of the indie-rock side of things. Singing with a strong sense of loss and dislocation, often casting a critical eye on the characters and scenes and challenges along the way, Donivan and Jacquelyn Berube are double-edged songwriting partners with the experience of living life on the road as their musical palette.

Donivan in particular has a story to tell, and the songs just can’t keep up. The duo’s

18

flaglive.com | Sept. 10–16, 2015

website includes an accurate rundown of travels now being turned into tunes.

“This letter has been scheduled to post in the immediate future, as this morning I left for a solo cross-country bicycle trip all the way to God’s Bathtub (Big Sur, California). Jacquelyn will be meeting me there in her car, whereafter we’ll be pitching our tent beside the Henry Miller Memorial Library, across the street from the Pacific Ocean, and setting to work for a while. The trip will cost somewhere around two months, 3,000 miles, through which My Beatnik & I will be drifting steadily northwest, sleeping in backyards or hiding in bushes, racing with lightning and pursuing something about life of

which I am still uncertain. I have all the maps I’ll need, but haven’t decided on an exact route to take. Why have direction, when you could have an adventure?” Donivan writes.

Just a year ago, he says, “I was halfway across South Dakota on a stupid bike.” On Tuesday Donivan’s remembrance of having to cross a barren state in a storm, part of a cycling jaunt across the country, will be revealed as a new single, “Wyoming/Dakota,” for an upcoming new album to be released sometime this year.

“It’s about the hardest part of the bike trip, 400 miles of nothing,” he says of the single, which will be released as a seven-inch vinyl on Thu, Sept. 15.

The couple established themselves as touring musicians by committing themselves fully. While living in Wisconsin they landed a booking agent, quit their jobs and moved most of what they owned into a storage unit. After a month on tour, they recorded the album Order of the Arrow (2014) in New York and eventually moved to Flagstaff, using it as a sort of base camp for further travels. In the meantime, after such things as an epic bike tour and an English-teaching stint in Peru, they have settled on Flagstaff and have successfully entered the online download realm, also working with YouTube and especially the fledgling online music service, Bandcamp.

MUSIC

Blessed Feathers at the Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, Wis., 2013.

“We were living in our car and camping, and we didn’t have an overhead,” Donivan says.

“Not making any money but not spending any money, either.”

They toured the national parks out West, as well as the Pacific Coast, eventually ending up for a period at a poetic spot, the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur. The small library has become a venue for appearances by authors and musicians in Northern California.

“It was the most perfect bookstore parked along the highway,” he says. “We volunteered and it was just this shack on the side of the road that a lot of people don’t know about.”

Donivan has come to admire Henry Miller, especially his 1945 novel Air Conditioned Nightmare, as well as the do-it-yourself ethic of the Miller legacy.

“He was a sort of DIY professional,” Donivan says. “He never went to school. He just wanted to be a writer.”

The Blessed Feathers have also benefited from being featured artists on National Public Radio, after Donivan was invited to speak about a key element of his story: when he decided at the age of 18 to leave the Jehovah’s Witnesses, a denomination his family has been a member of since his growing up years in Florida.

“We landed on NPR and got into my whole religious back story,” he says. “I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, but now I’m shunned after being brought up in the religion.”

The interview on NPR led to a minor viral uproar, as many Jehovah’s Witnesses criticized him for making the announcement.

“I got a lot of flack for it,” he says. “We got 80 comments on the NPR website ... Everybody wants to talk about the religious thing. I will go as deep into it as you want. It doesn’t faze me. It was intense but also kind of amazing.

People wrote the nicest letters. I made the decision to leave knowing what the consequences would be.”

Those consequences include not having spoken to his family since leaving the church, as well as losing his friends in Florida. Such a deeply painful coming of age experience has produced songs with a mournful, melancholy quality. Along with Jacquelyn’s singing style that is somewhat reminiscent of Mazzy Star and Donivan’s rolling wordplay, Blessed Feathers keeps the sound bright with a variety of instruments they play themselves: guitars, banjo, drums, bass, keyboards and flute.

“I don’t want to be the sad white guy with the guitar,” Donivan says. “We try to keep the songs upbeat with the different drum rhythms.

So we are somewhere between homemade rock ‘n’ roll and sad bastard. The melancholy ones are the ones that are real. The ones that are most real are the ones that resonate with people.”

See the Blessed Feathers perform at Mia’s Lounge, 26 S. San Francisco, on Sat, Sept. 12 with fellow local indie-folk outfits Tow’rs and Them Savages. The show is free and starts at 9 p.m. For more info, call 774-3315. To learn more about the band and hear their music, visit www.blessedfeathers.com.

REARVIEW The honorable fight Who says America doesn’t need unions

I

n their ongoing, all-out assault to crush labor unions, corporate forces have fabricated a cultural myth to undermine popular support for labor: unions, they insist, are no longer needed. They tell us that in today’s entrepreneurial economy, workers must compete with each other, not cooperate.

Before swallowing that wad of hornswoggle, let’s revisit Flight 1549. As it took off from New York City in 2009, the jet hit a flock of geese, lost all power, and had nowhere to try a crash landing. But Capt.

Sully Sullenberger knew what to do: use the Hudson River as a landing strip! Amazingly, it worked! Dubbed the “Miracle on the Hudson,” the lives of all 150 passengers were saved.

But no supernatural powers were at work—Captain Sully himself is not only a member of the Airline Pilots Association, but also served on that union’s national governing committee and was its former safety chairman. Indeed, he and the APA union have had to fight airline chieftains who keep trying to cut back on the safety training programs that teach crews how to save lives.

Nor was Sully alone in this “miracle.” The cool-headed flight attendants who quickly

moved 150 nearly-panicked people off the plane were members of the Association of Flight Attendants, another union that trains to avert disasters. The ferry crews that zipped into action, skillfully maneuvering their boats within four inches of the plane’s wings to rescue passengers—they’re in the Seafarers International Union, which gives them the safety courses that enabled them to respond as they did. The cops, firefighters, and air traffic controllers also performed marvelously—all union trained.

At a time when corporate interests in all sectors of our economy are trying to eliminate unions, remember Flight 1549— the Union-Made Miracle on the Hudson.
