Our Rhythms: A Tribute to Poetry.
PENNING POETRY FOR ALL PEOPLE U.S. Poet Laureate among ten poets scheduled to appear
T
he first poetry in the Black Hills was a combination of everyday speech and enough four-letter words to make Howard Stern blush. The poetry at the Festival of Books will be a bit more literary with far less swearing. Some of the most acclaimed poets in the country are scheduled to appear, including U.S. Poet Laureate and 2005 Pulitzer Prize winner Ted Kooser, South Dakota Poet Laureate David Allan Evans, Nebraska Poet Laureate William Kloefkorn and Emmy and Peabody winner Quincy Troupe. “Before television and the Internet, writers and poets were America’s celebrities,” said Terri Davis, Chair of the Festival Steering Committee. “People like Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Frost were some of the best poets of their time. The poets we have coming to Deadwood are also some of the best.” A special tribute to poetry will open the events at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23 with “Meet Ted Kooser Reception” sponsored by the Rapid

At 7:30, Kooser will team up with fellow author Jim Harrison in “a coffeehouse conversation.” The two will read from Braided Creek: A Conversation in Poetry. Following the “coffeehouse conversation,” Troupe will read his poetry to music from Dakota Jazz Collective from 8:30 to 9:45 p.m. at the Deadwood Pavilion. The Black Hills Writers will end

the night festivities with an open mic at 10 p.m. On Saturday, Troupe will assist with judging and Kim Alarie, Rapid City, will coordinate a poetry slam from noon to 2 p.m. In addition, poets Linda M. Hasselstrom, LeAnne Howe, M.J. McMillan, MariJo Moore, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, Lydia Whirlwind Soldier and artist Gary Steinley will join a number of “Our Rhythms” activities.
FOR THE
H ILLS
Nebraskan Ted Kooser is first Great Plains writer to hold position
T
ed Kooser talks with the soft and down-to-earth voice of a typical midwesterner. A resident of Garland, Nebraska, the former insurance executive certainly looks ordinary. But he’s not. Kooser is the current U.S. Poet Laureate and the first man from the Great Plains to hold the position in its 69-year history. Selected by the Library of Congress in August 2004, Kooser was reappointed to a second term in April – during the same week he received the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for poetry for
Delights and Shadows. He has been acclaimed by peers and critics for touching “on universal themes in accessible ways” and for being “the sort of poet people love to read.” “I do try to write things that people understand,” he muses. “There can be some novelty in that. I think I can do something for a broad, general audience. Shakespearean sonnets are pretty intimidating to the audience I’m trying to cultivate. My style naturally evolved, out of my need to reach people.” That need evolved into working
with the Poetry Foundation to establish a website, which provides free poetry articles to local newspapers (www.americanlifeinpoetry.org). Kooser was born in Ames, Iowa and received a master’s degree from the University of Nebraska in 1968 and joined Lincoln Benefit Life, where he worked until 1999. Now a visiting English professor at UNL, Kooser spends most of his time filling duties as Poet Laureate, which include poetry readings and talking to readers and writers across the nation.

Our World: A Tribute to Non-Fiction. Greg Latza
THE VALUE OF BOOKS Book appraiser Richard Austin
H
ollywood blockbusters like National Treasure and Sahara prove Americans love a good treasure hunt. And interested treasure hunters will travel to the book festival to visit with professional book appraiser Richard Austin. “There’s always the idea that there’s something in your house – and maybe you don’t even like it so much – but there’s always the expectation or the hope that it’s worth something,” said Austin, who makes regular appearances on the popular PBS program Antiques Roadshow. “It’s a treasure hunt, and everybody loves that.” Many presenters at the Festival of Books come to give public readings or advice on breaking into the world of publishing, but Austin will put his talents to different use. “Authors are the real attraction for people at book festivals, but everyone has questions about books,” he said. “These events are good at attracting readers and lots of readers have old books in the family and they want these things appraised. So I tell people what to look for and what to throw away.” He’s been appraising books since he was a college student – and for the Antiques Roadshow since 1998. Austin is interested to see what people in the Black Hills area will bring in for him to look at. “There are always surprises,” he said. “What really surprises me is that everyone brings in the family Bible. But it’s the most printed book in human history, so there are literally millions of copies out there. Your copy is important because it’s yours.”

FINDING TRUTH IN BOOKS Jim Harrison and NPR host Neal Conan headline non-fiction lineup in Deadwood
E
verything from the Great Plains and baseball to memoirs and Christmas will be presented at “Our World: A Tribute to NonFiction.” “Non-fiction is such a diverse genre. It covers a number of disciplines, so it appeals to a broad range of people,” said Becky Schenk, Humanities Council member. Neal Conan, host of NPR’s “Talk of the Nation” will headline. Conan took leave from NPR to be the playby-play announcer for the Aberdeen (Md.) Arsenal. He will team up with Gary Hoenig, editor-in-chief of ESPN Magazine, Rob Fleder, executive editor at Sports Illustrated and Quincy Troupe, whose father played professional baseball to present “Baseball and Books,” hosted by Jay Feldman. Memoirs are also in the spotlight in “Our World,” with “Memoir: Adventure in Inner Space and Time,” a panel with Betsy Carter, a veteran in the magazine business, M.J. Andersen, a veteran journalist, prolific author Jim Harrison and Nebraska poet William Kloefkorn who have all
recently published memoirs. Ann Daum and others will present writing about the prairie from the feminine perspective. There is also a panel discussing the masculine perspective.

YOUTH
Our Youth: A tribute to Children’s Literature.
CHILDREN’S LITERATURE APPEALS TO THE KID INSIDE Authors must be surrounded by creativity to achieve success
W
ell-known children’s writers will appear in Deadwood, including Caldecott Medalist Eric Rohmann, National Humanities Medalist Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve, International Reading Association Award winner Ben Mikaelsen and South Dakota Prairie Pasque winner Joseph Bruchac. “It’s tough to find a kid anymore who doesn’t have a Harry Potter book on their shelf,” said Sherry DeBoer, director of the Center for the Book. “But it’s almost as hard to find an adult without a Harry Potter book. Children’s books aren’t just for children. They’re for anyone who appreciates creativity, and the authors we have coming to Deadwood this fall really demonstrate that.” To write storylines that capture attention of children, children’s literature authors have to be surrounded by creativity. Joining the festival will be a number of authors, including Black Lagoon author Mike Thaler, Black Lagoon illustrator Jared Lee, children’s history author Candace Fleming, Kristin Donnan, Jean Patrick and Quincy Troupe.
FREE STUFF FOR KIDS! The Festival offers a letter press demo limited to 15 (pre-registration is required), creation stations, a Scholastic Book Fair and beloved storybook characters. Pokey Little Puppy, Junie B. Jones, Mama and Papa Berenstain and Olivia’s Trunk will all be at the Elementary School gym. Volunteers will be on hand all day Saturday to assist with activities.
USING IMAGINATION TO WEAVE STORIES Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Eric Rohmann appreciates children’s open-mindedness
A
ccording to Caldecott Medalwinning storyteller Eric Rohmann, one doesn’t simply wake up and decide to write and illustrate children’s books. “Actually, I woke up one day and said, ‘I’d like to be Batman!’” Rohmann jests. “And then I found out that it would require too much work to get there. But that’s how I started out with comics. And that makes sense, since they’re pictures that tell stories.” Rohmann is indeed a storyteller. The Chicagoan has been a printmaker and bookmaker for a quarter-century. But after plying his trade in the upper Midwest for several years, Rohmann decided to see if his artwork could take him somewhere else. “I took a portfolio of my artwork to New York City and met with editors and publishers and art directors,” he says. “One of them said, ‘Let’s make this book,’ and it was Time Flies,” which received a Caldecott Honor for illustration in 1995 and was praised by the New
York Times for being “a work of informed imagination and masterly storytelling unobtrusively underpinned by good science.” A few years later, in 2003, he won the Caldecott Medal for My Friend Rabbit. “Children are the audience I really love,” he says. “They’re openminded, not cynical and willing to suspend disbelief. They’re the right audience for what I do.” Rohmann says he enjoys speaking to adults and working with children at book festivals. “When I was in school and authors would talk to us, I remember them as little angry white guys who would come in and tell us how good they were at what they did,” Rohmann says. “People often ask what kids can learn from me. I can teach them how to draw a little bit, but not much. It’s hard to do in an hour or so. What I show them best is that I love what I do, and while I take my work seriously, I don’t take myself too seriously. I come off as a regular guy and they think, ‘I can do that too!’” SEPTEMBER 2005 • 7

PUTTING WORDS INTO MOTION Authors include South Dakota writers and contemporaries from across America

n a world where formulaic crime novels and mechanical adventure books crowd library shelves, it can be easy to dismiss fiction as an art form with little cultural value. “We have a pretty broad range of authors coming to the Festival of Books,” said Jack Lyons, member of the Humanities Council. “Fiction itself is a diverse genre, and I think we’ve got a good representation of the field.” Fictional films will be part of the Festival. On Friday, there is a special screening of the Hallmark Channel’s “The Reading Room,” starring James Earl Jones. On hand to introduce the film and provide commentary will be actor and “Reading Room” director Georg Stanford Brown. Sean Covel, co-producer of “Napoleon Dynamite” will also be in attendance at the festival, and will provide commentary after a showing of the film. This recent film phenomenon has received high public 22 • SOUTH DAKOTA FESTIVAL OF BOOKS
regard among America’s younger audience. Fantasy and mystery are part of fictional writing. The Festival will extend the mystery aspects of the weekend as the “Minnesota Crime Wave” makes stops across South Dakota at local libraries. The “Crime Wave” has four authors who specialize in mystery writing. William Kent Krueger, Ellen Hart, Carl Brookins, and Deborah Woodworth travel together presenting workshops on mysteries and how to write mysteries – in full costume. Comics are also part of fiction, and they will be highlighted with the appearance of Peter David, who has worked on many comics in the past, including The Incredible Hulk. Also, two editors from Marvel will present at the Festival. Others joining the event include American Indian writer MariJo Moore, Kenneth Robbins, Marian Hersrud, LeAnne Howe, Dan
O’Brien, Faith Sullivan, Aaron B. Larson and Kathleen Taylor. The premiere event for fiction enthusiasts will be “Talk of the Hills” Gala Reading on Saturday evening, hosted by NPR’s Neal Conan. Speakers include National Book Award winner Pete Dexter, PEN/Hemingway winner Susan Power, “One Book South Dakota” author Kent Meyers and magazine veteran and novelist Betsy Carter. The fiction tribute is set for Saturday evening at the Pavilion, followed by Black Hills Writers open mic. Anne Bodman, Trisha Ball, Sharon Henry, and Shari O’Keefe, members of The Black Hills Storytellers, will also tell late night ghost stories at the Adams Museum. A reception will allow the public to meet Covel, followed by the screening of “Napoleon Dynamite” in the Masonic Auditorium.

JUST A BIT OF FRIENDLY COMPETITION Two competitors and longtime friends will face off in Deadwood
S Editors, Publishers Lend Experience to Local Writers Editors for ESPN Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Marvel and other publishers to speak at Festival of Books
I
f authors are the Hollywood stars of the publishing industry, editors are the directors and producers, often forgotten in the wake of a bestseller. For many aspiring authors, editors and publishers represent their doorway to a career in writing. However, their behind-the-scenes work makes editors difficult to find, leaving would-be-writers uncertain of how to break into the industry. Fortunately, the Festival of Books isn’t an actors-only event. Some of the best in the editing world will speak, including Sports Illustrated Executive Editor Rob Fleder, ESPN Magazine Editor-in-Chief Gary Hoenig, Miramax Vice President Judy Hottensen and Marvel editors Andy Schmidt and Ruwan Jayatilleke. “Many people assume editing is about correcting spelling and grammar,” said Sherry DeBoer, director of the Center for the Book. “But editors are the backbone of the industry. The problem is that you just don’t meet editors. Unless you come to the festival.”
Individual meetings with editors are available for emerging authors who have ideas and questions about children’s books, comics and graphic novels, sports writing and general fiction. There will be a panel on western frontier writing with Richard Slatta and Dayton Hyde. Lanniko Lee and Lydia Whirlwind Soldier will give tips on tribal writing and Stephen Bloom will present on turning ideas into books. Teaming up for a presentation will be publishers Nancy Tystad Koupal of the South Dakota State Historical Society Press, Arthur Huseboe of the Center for Western Studies, Emily Cook of Milkweed Press and anthology editor Linda M. Hasselstrom. Black Lagoon author Mike Thaler, illustrator Jared Lee, editor Ruwan Jayatilleke and attorney Mary Flower will discuss the “ABC’s of Children’s Publishing.” In addition, Faith Sullivan will give tips on successful book groups and an Authors Guild representative and Hottensen will present “How to Get Happily Published.”
ports Illustrated and ESPN are competing magazines, but few people realize two longtime friends edit them. “We were friends long before we were working for competing magazines,” Sports Illustrated Executive Editor Rob Fleder said. “There’s never been a reason to let it get in the way.” ESPN Magazine Editor-In-Chief Gary Hoenig agrees. The two will reconnect in Deadwood to host a discussion about magazine writing and editing techniques. What each brings to the discussion will be different. Both said key differences between their magazines and philosophies are evident. A Brown and Columbia University graduate, Fleder’s ethics ravel from stints with Playboy and Esquire, prompting a traditional style to the current Sports Illustrated. Hoenig, on the other hand, began his career in journalism as a messenger for the New York Times and said his gamble with unorthodox editing strategies has paid off. “I ended up with a group of very eclectic people that are now the core staff for a successful magazine.”

HONORING THE PAST WITH WORDS History & tribal writers at Festival of Books include Vine Deloria, Jr., and Senator George McGovern
S
outh Dakotans are especially fond and proud of their history. “The word ‘history’ encompasses so much, from hunting stories and oral epics to Renaissance science and modern war accounts,” said Don Simmons, executive director of the Humanities Council. With a large number of history writers attending the Festival there will be a bit of everything. Several panel discussions focus on upper Midwest history, including railroads, agriculture, mining, western expansion’s social impact, the Deadwood archaeological dig and the region’s romantic heroes. James McLaird and Richard Maturi will discuss famous South Dakotans. McLaird is an expert on Calamity Jane, and Maturi has recently written about Earl Sande, a
jockey from Groton that won the Triple Crown. Richard Slatta, who teaches in North Carolina, has done extensive research on cowboy life. Slatta, Stephen Bloom, Frank Lambert and Joseph Bruchac will present the social impact of western expansion. Also, Jay Feldman will present with LeAnne Howe and Lydia Whirlwind Soldier “Tales from the Earth.” New Yorker Beth Kimmerle will present the history of candy and chocolate in America. Elizabeth Cook-Lynn will present “A Tribal Narrative of the West.” Also scheduled is a tribute to Senator George McGovern and the authors who contributed to his recent biography including editor Robert Watson. In addition, “The Price of Union: Slavery and the Constitution” will
be presented by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone and Lambert and a tribal writing tribute titled “Nature and the Human Spirit” will be hosted by Bruchac and features Vine Deloria, Jr., prolific author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve, children’s history author Candace Fleming and wildlife photographer and writer Paul Brown. Thomas Hamill is scheduled to speak on his recent book about being kidnapped in Iraq. Additional history and tribal writing presenters include Ahrar Ahmad, Tom Domek, Rosellen Estep Fosha, Gilbert Fite, Mary Gunderson, Thomas Isern, Jon Lauck, Bob Lee, Lanniko Lee, Rick Mills, Rex Alan Smith, Lydia Whirlwind Soldier and David Wolff.
