I had lost my entire fortune, and it really didn't get any better after that. In the next six months, my wife was also mugged, and our apartment was broken into three times, and a friend of a neighbor upstairs was murdered in the hallway. And the janitor at the church that abutted our patio was bludgeoned, and spent three months in the hospital recovering. And the house on the corner, opposite us, was mobbed. And then somewhat terrified and unhappy, we began to make our way back to the Midwest. And eventually, I found myself of all things in Western Minnesota. It was in a farm town. The place I had fervently hoped I would never again be. And there felt at home, in some way that I didn't quite understand. And I wanted to think about what that feeling of the homeness was. And so I sat down to write. That's really when my writing started. And the very, very first thing that I wrote, after I started this examination, was the piece that opens the book that became Journal of a Prairie Year. I'm gonna share just a piece of that with you. The prairie, I wrote, is like a daydream. It is one of those plainly visible things that you can't photograph. No camera lens can take in a big enough piece of it. The prairie landscape embraces the whole of the sky. It's image is globular, but without the distortion you get in a wide-angle lens. Any undistorted image is too flat to represent the impression of immersion that is central to being on the prairie. It is a kind of baptism. The moon is the closest to the celestial objects. It makes the largest image; it affords the best light for prolonged examination; it is visible in the greatest detail. But no amount of walking will get you any closer to it, and you can never reach out and touch it. The prairie, in this respect, resembles the moon. Its essential feature is it horizon, which you can neither walk to nor touch. It is like the horizon of the sea. We are helpless as babies about this. Whatever we can see and do not understand, and must acknowledge, we make over in our own image. The moon, the sea, the prairie all present insurmountable barriers of distance. We cross them on the craft as egocentricity. We make the moon, the marker of time, and the dwelling place of desire. The sea, the mirror, the bosom. The prairie, the breadbasket. Newcomers to the prairie are at first disconcerted by its nakedness. Later, they will wish it weren't so private. To live on the prairie is to daydream. It is the only conceivable response to such immensity. It is when we are smallest that our daydreams come quickest. I drove North across the prairie, daydreaming and taking notes. When I got to Winnipeg, my notes stopped. Downtown Winnipeg is everything the open prairie is not. Swirls of unruly traffic, swarms of pedestrians, towering masses of glass and steel. If you don't scurry about, you make a nuisance of yourself, and invite attention as a person apparently without gainful employment. I stayed in the big railroad hotel Downtown. The second morning I was in Winnipeg, I was intimidated by the rush of traffic into making a wrong turn, and before I had realized what I had done, was out of the city. Figuring I might as well enjoy being lost, I turned off onto a road that promised to lead through the countryside. By and by, I happened upon Lower Fort Garry, which was once a provisioning outpost of the Hudson's Bay Company, and is now a kind of Williamsburg. It was a blustery and chilly day. I was glad to be inside the walls. A young cook in a bonnet offered me a still warm Cole's baked oatmeal cookie. I was emboldened by it to venture out through the gates of the Fort and stand clutched against a tree, along the banks of the Red River of the North. The wind howled. Even the gulls seem to be having a hard time of it. I went back to Winnipeg, through marginal farmlands along what was once the bottom of the great sea. I have no trouble finding the city. It loomed out of the landscape like an enormous tree. I saw the city then as a fortress. I saw what walls we build against the prairie. How timidly we huddled together. How effectively, we close off its vastness, and make for ourselves another space of more human dimensions. I couldn't say what to make of it. I drove the 600 miles home through rain, through mist, through sunshine. What I saw in every light, until I was obsessed with seeing it, was that nearly every inch of the land along the way had been painstakingly turned over, furrow by furrow. It seemed some unknowable comment on the human spirit that we should despite our walls have turned ourselves into such an awesome army of Lady Macbeths rubbing out so relentlessly, such a terrible space. I don't suppose that writers really choose their subjects. In some way, those seem given to you. Most of my work has been, since then, concerned in one way or another with the landscape and the natural world. It's a preoccupation that I understand some 249,990,000, approximately of the 250,000 people in this country don't share. But there it is. And I have tended to write works of non-fiction but there is one sense, I think, in which my own non-fiction shares something with every piece of fiction, and that is that what interests me in every one of these landscapes that I've explored, is what is inexpressible. What is essentially mysterious at the heart of the experience. I tried to express that in a number of ways. Here's a little excerpt from an unfinished essay actually. It's from the third book to come, which I'm now actively working on. And it tries to say something, at least about what I'm up to. What I've discovered. The setting here is Isle Royale in L.Superior. I descended the Minong Ridge, at the place where it crosses one branch of the upper reaches of Washington Creek. I was just about to set my right boot onto a stepping stone, when a dark, live, long-tailed animal slipped around an alder and disappeared into a thicket of shrubs. I had a seconds look at it, if that, before it vanished. A cursory exploration, in the direction it did go on, revealed no evidence of a readable footprint. Perhaps, if I have not been so intent on getting to Windigo before the store closed, I did not yet know that it hadn't opened. If I had been alone. If there hadn't been a boat to meet in the morning. If I hadn't committed myself to obligations that bound me to meeting it. Perhaps, if I had ever learned to travel freely, or believe more deeply on the opportunities the moment brings, I might have unburdened myself of my pack and gone in search of that fleeting image. But I didn't. I looked where the creature had gone, replayed the image of it in my eye, stepped to the opposite shore of the little stream, of trudged up hill, bead of sweat gathering in the small of my back, hoping that some less evanescent presence might appear along the way to compensate for the loss. I thought that it might have been an ermine in summer coat or a mink, or even an otter. Most likely, I decided, it was a mink. Later that day, I would claim to have seen one, and to have been pleased at the side of it. But it was the kind of lie we tell, when we are disappointed. The truth was, I had seen a fleeting shadow for a brief moment. A thin thread of experience, and embroidered into a story. We tell stories like this all the time. One's life is in a strange way, the summer of them. I can see it even now, a long time later, just as if it had freshly happened. The glance to the left, where the tan water ran through the green stems of a marsh marigold, bright with golden flower. The flurry of motion, the flash visual data. Long, live, brown or black, with tail. It remains one of my most vivid impressions of Isle Royale. I have stored it, with 100,000 other impressions, just like it, of 1,000 other places. I want to extract them, make them solid, and render them as something concrete, a collage maybe, or a quilt. \"See\", I could then say, \"this is the essence of wildness. This is what we must not forget. How brief life is. How unexpected. How little of it we glimpse. How rapidly it changes.\" I, like the next person, struggle to make sense of what I have seen and heard. I tell stories about wild places as if I had discovered anything at all. If I told the truth, everything I described would be indistinct and on the run. This would be a true picture of the wild places I have known, including those of my own heart. I would be standing at the center of the frame, and at its edges, one would see the tails of things, mysterious and alluring, their owners dash indiscreetly for cover. Novelist friend of mine, John Kasler, tells about going to his cabin to write for the summer, and while he was there, having the plumbing in his house, absolutely collapse. So he called the local plumber who came and dismantled the toilet, and entered the house with his long snake, and was down there digging around in the bowels of his sewerage. And eventually, as John tells a story, he was literally up to his elbows in you know what. And in the midst of this as John was watching, the man lifted his head and said, \"Say, aren't you that fellow that writes novels?\" And John said, \"Yes, yes, I am, as a matter of fact.\" And the plumber shook his head. Looked at him, said, \"Hell of a way to make a living.\" It is you know, most of us, most of us don't get to be James Smiley's. Most of us while away our lives in obscure corners, ill paid and under noticed. That's the way it is. So for those of you who are thinking about reading writers, I want to read just a piece of this essay, only because I want to tell you the story about it. This is an essay that I wrote originally as the first chapter of a book called \"The Necessity of Empty Places\". When I'd finished the book, I sent it off to my agent and she read it and she said... She called me up after she'd read it, and she said, \"Well, I liked the book very much. It's a, it's a good book. It's a weird book, but I, but I like it. It's all right, except for one thing, that first chapter just has to go. That's just hopeless. Take it out.\" So, I'm a compliant sort of person I took it out. But then it happened some months later that I was in contributing a monthly essay to a magazine, I much enjoyed contributing to. A magazine called Minnesota Monthly, which has since become a rag, but it was once a wonderful magazine. One of the things I particularly liked about publishing for it was that it was, publishing in it, was it is, a marvelously articulate audience, and quick to tell you when you had done right or wrong. I once mistook an iris for a pupil in a, in a creature's eye, and I got a flood of nasty letters, from people who wondered if I'd really be that stupid. So I, I published this piece in the magazine. I didn't have anything else that month, and so I sent it off. And as it happened, it was the single piece of 36 that I published in a series, which drew not a single response from anybody. Just a deafening silence that could be heard all over the Midwest, descended in the wake of the publication of this essay. Well, I still sort of liked it, was the truth. And so, I'd been invited to give a reading at the Minneapolis Public Library, and I went down there one noon. It was one of these ground bag things, and read this essay to the audience that was assembled there. And same thing happened. Just most of the audience was gone, long before the essay was. And those few who remained, remained like crumpling their paper bags, and looking bored to death. Well, I thought it was a bad hall, and it was lunchtime, and people were tired. So I have one more ace in the hole. I sent this essay off to a friend of mine. Everybody, every writer ought to have one friend like this but not two. One of those friends who can be counted on to say that absolutely everything you've done is brilliant. \"Just the best, best thing you've ever written. I could, I couldn't put it down. I wept for three nights. Oh, thank heavens, there's a Paul Gruchow\" he will say. So, I sent this essay to her, and by and by came a letter from her. She said, \"Well, it was interesting. And I would sure like to see it when it's finished.\" Well, I'm dumb, but I'm not aggressively dumb, I like to think so. So I just put it away and didn't think any more of it. The version of it that I'm going to read to you, is from a volume called \"The Best American Assets\". And as a matter of fact, it is since been translated into Russian, and French, and German, and if some of you are freshmen, you might be inflicted with it in one of your freshmen readers. It's absolutely the most successful piece of writing I ever did. So you never know. I mean, that's the way writing is. The essay is called \"Bones\". I was just going to read a little. Read the end section of it. One of the habits I had as a child, which sets up the title, was the collecting of bones. And this figures in the end of this essay. I have been talking... This is the title of the book, which will be out next year, \"A House of Many Mansions\". I had been talking earlier in this essay about the many mansions in which I lived as a child on my farm, the pond mansion, and the river mansion and the black walnut mansion and so on. And then I say, Now, now I live in a single house of eight rooms, from which I've venture forth into nature as a tourist. Most mornings, I walk from my house around the shallow prairie lake to the two room office in which I spend my days pacing, writing, reading, and staring out of the second story windows into the canopy of a black walnut tree. It buds, it leaves, it flowers, it bears nuts. The yellow green nuts turn brown and fall; the green leaves turn yellow and flutter to the earth. In the winter, I watched frozen pieces of it break off in the wind and scatter to the earth. In spring, the tree buds again. Some would call this a cycle, the eternal cycle of nature and find comfort in it. I don't. The tree is a little less young, each spring. And so am I. Our time is running out. For the tree, as for me. The path is linear, not cyclical. And the end of the line is death. The best that can be said in the meantime is that neither of us has moved. The skies beyond the tree change. One day dawns clear, the next cloudy. Some days rain patters against the window glass, some mornings the branches of the walnut are white with rime frost, others with new snow. The wind blows or doesn't, in the heated and air conditioned solitude of my study dissolve the same. One summer afternoon, a couple of years ago, the sky suddenly turned as black as ink. The street lights switched on. A` stillness fell, so deafening that it intruded even to my already silent rooms. Rain began to pour in torrents as it does in the tropical forest. But the downpour was swept and swirled by violent winds that howled in the corners of the building. As suddenly as the rain came, so came the hail, thundering down upon the rooftop, and smashing against the windows. One by one, the panes of glass shattered, as I cowered in the middle of the outer room, paralyzed with awe and fear. Then, as suddenly as it had arrived, the storm cloud past. The branches of the walnut tree hung in tatters, and icy water puddled in the windowsills, where the rain had been driven through the holes in the shattered glass. In the streets, mist had already begun to rise from the hail drifts, dissipating in the blazing heat of the sun. $10 million damage in 10 minutes in a small prairie town. I thought of an outburst of John Berryman's, I'd witnessed on another summer day. Suddenly, while walking to the auditorium centerstage to deliver a lecture on James Joyce, Berryman, the great poet, and he had a sort of Todd Lee way of moving. He was quite ill, even when he was working on \"The Dream Songs\". One day as he was coming down the aisle, he fell asleep, we realized. Just standing there, holding his briefcase. But he was such an august person. He had won the Pulitzer prize by then and many others, that nobody dared to wake him, not even his teaching assistant, who went to get the dean, and who came to wake him. On this day, while advancing to his lectern, he suddenly smashed a chair into the orchestra pit and bellowed incoherently against janitors. \"The function of janitors at the University of Minnesota\", he said, \"is to keep professors from getting to their lecterns\". It's good for them. He later wrote of us, his bewildered students, a Zen touch action in the midst of thought. But most days are not graced with such drama. They come to a close and I walk home, noticing perhaps whether it is hot or cold, windy or calm, passing through a landscape, so familiar that I have ceased to see it. Ready to take up residence for the night, in the only house I now know. A gray one of eight rooms, a tight fortress against the world beyond its windows. I'd take the telephone off the hook, throw the junk mail unopened into the waste basket, and sit in my brown chair, in the yellow light of the lamp. Listening to piano music arranged on a compact disc in the order that someone else has determined would please me. There are rooms in that house that I seldom visit. And so far as I am concerned, there are no other houses anywhere else in the wide world. When I want to visit the world in which I once lived, I consult my maps, arrange my schedule, embark on an expedition to the local stores for perishable supplies, pack the car, and set out from my house, fearful sometimes, but full of new energy too, as a tourist always is at the beginning of a journey. And when I arrive and set out on foot into some untamed place, I come sooner or later, to a bone or a shell. And often, I pick it up and carry it home with me. I keep my souvenirs here in my office with me, and on the mantle of the fireplace in my house. The tooth of a bison, washed out of the mud of the Nebraska stream bed; the carapace of a horseshoe crab picked up in the Florida mangrove swamp; a bowl full of fossil shark teeth, collected on the Gulf Coast Beach. The shell of a land snail found in the Sandy a royal of the Baja desert, the jawbone of a cow from the great basin of Wyoming, the antler of a white tail deer shed in the North woods, the skull of a mule deer attacked by coyotes on Montana's front range. Every bone reminds me of many others that I left uncollected somewhere, when I was out hunting for lost mansions. Likes the prophet, I have walked in the valley full of bones. But the remarkable thing, in fact, is that one finds so few bones. Millions of creatures die every day. Where are their, where are their remains? Where have they all gone? And as for the creatures dying, but not yet dead, where are they? You can walk for a thousand miles and never once see a creature die. Death is nothing, if not discreet. The bones, everyone, are miracles. The alms nature offers to life. We do not easily accept miracles. They seem to fall between the boundaries beyond the boundaries of cause and effect. But a miracle is nothing more than a story that begins after the cause, and ends before the effect. It is the mysterious void at the heart of the story, the space between the particles of an atom that makes the substance of things possible. The miracle of a bone is that it is a moment frozen. A bone is the evidence of a life; a life unprecedented and never to be repeated, which though it is vanished, nevertheless endures in the bone. A faint, white glimmering in some offhand place of life everlasting. This little story, it's a little piece of the story about being lost that introduces the subject of home, which I want to spend a couple of minutes with, before I close here. I'm in the mountains in Wyoming or Montana, I don't know which, and have been lost, for some long time. And have gone down to the lake, where I have made a camp to get some water. And scared up there a moose, the only living thing I've seen for some days, which runs away. My grandfather... My grandmother had little interest in words, none so far as I know, in painting or any other kind of ornament. She cooked by boiling and blanching, did not raise flowers, avoided jewelry, was content with the plain white walls of her house, except for a plastic plaque that hung near the dinette set in the living-dining room. \"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure,\" it said. The words were framed in a garland of roses. I thought as a boy that it was an incredibly beautiful expression. Reminded me of the hymn that we sang often at church ♪ I'm but a stranger here ♪ ♪ Heaven is my home. ♪ ♪ Earth is a desert drear, ♪ ♪ Heaven is my home. ♪ ♪ Danger and sorrow stand, ♪ ♪ Round me on every hand. ♪ ♪ Heaven is my fatherland, ♪ ♪ Heaven is my home. ♪ We believed that. I myself believed it. As devoutly as anything, earth was a rough spot. Dangerous, unfair, cruel, to be gotten over, endured on the way to heaven. In part, of course, we needed an explanation and excuse for lives without wealth or status or influence. As Jesus might endure the humiliation of living as an infant to fulfill the promise of God, so we might suffer the indignities of earth to achieve the glories of our final destiny. We might be nobodies here, but the day was coming, when the somebodies of this earth would find the tables turned. But there was a good deal more in our sense of alienation than that. Something more encompassing than religious dogma. A feeling that had been building in us as human beings for millions of years, at least for the thousands of years, since we had become rational and literate. Once, a long time ago, we saw ourselves as indistinguishable from nature. In our animistic world, trees and worms and bears no less than human beings had souls and were bound together with us, in a common existence. Life then was hard and short and uncertain. We were cold and hungry and beset by fears of many kinds. But we were not, I think in the modern sense, quite so lonely, quite so afflicted with a sense of alienation. From life, we say, but really from nature. How should I learn to live in the same world with the moose? I did not know. I came down to the edge of the water, and it fled from me and never looked back. I watched it go and felt rebuked. At dawn, the next morning, I crept down to the pond on all fours, and hid behind a boulder of granite, hoping in vain that it would come again to feed on the lilies glinting with frost. I asked of it a certain intimacy and it spoke to me only of great distances. It was then that I began to feel truly lost. In the country where I grew up, we had home places. The home place was the place that was at the center of your family's life. It was the place everybody identified with you, even if you didn't live there anymore. If you said, we're gonna have a party Saturday night, at the home place, people knew where to go, even if it wasn't a place that was connected with you now. But I think we've lost a great deal in having lost that sense of homeness. So, in the new book, which will be out this fall, I've written a bit about that subject, and just a couple of paragraphs from that meditation. This is a, it's an odd book. It's a, it's a book of hours, in the old medieval sense. Takes the canonical hours of the monks. And this book is set in the North woods, and so it happens in the course of 24 hours and it begins with the logs at 3:00 in the morning, and ends with a complaint and these are just a few paragraphs from the vespers, the prayers that would have been said at 9:00 PM. I sit on a rock, the edge of the water and the gathering darkness, staring into the depths of the lake and thinking of something Thoreau said, when he was perhaps in a similar mood about Walden Pond. \"A Lake\", he said, \"is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye, looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.\" Down the lake, a solitary loon cries. The sound is low and mournful. It is sometimes mistaken for the howl of a wolf. I think that the cry might've come from my own heart, when it echoes back across the water, it echoes also inside me, and the reverberations do not die away. I shiver and button my wool shirt and pull a jacket over it. I think it is not the sudden coldness alone that stirs within me. In a few months, I will be as old as my father was when he died. I can see him now looking up at me out of the depths of the lake. He is smiling. He always wanted to be in a place like this, but he never found the time or the means to get here. I see that it did not matter that he is here now and always was. 45 years was the span of his life. Thoreau was the same age when he died. This rock has been here for 2 billion years. Somewhere, loons have been crying for a hundred million years. They were already loons, when this shore I sit upon was still buried within the heart of the great mountain. Long before the Rocky Mountains, there were loons. Somewhere a wolf is prowling. I can feel it in my bones. I can feel the vibrations in this stone. 30 million years ago, there were wolves. In an hour, I will hear one howling. Before the ice came, it was already howling. 9,000 years ago, this lake was here. 8,000 years ago, on a night, very like this one, an ancestor of mine sat upon this boulder. A loon was crying and it's cry echoed across these waters, and the echo reverberated in my kin's heart, and it reverberates still. Tonight, I have a session with myself. I look into the eye of the earth and I find there are myriad things coming forth and expressing themselves. Flowers, poets, fathers, lakes, mountains, wolves, loons, boulders of granite, both inside my body and out of it. I found, after all, the thing I was looking for. The home place. It is here I see. Everywhere, and inside me, where it always was. I rise, go up the hill and build a fire against the chill and the darkness. It crackles and spits. Idly, I stir a stick in the coals until it glows and wave it. Riding a neon dance in the night. I stare absentmindedly into the orange and blue flames, hypnotize by them in the ancient way, feeling myself, letting go of my body. My eyelids begin to droop, neither with weariness nor with sleepiness, but with peace. The fire has burned itself down. I bank the coals and turn in. At first, the sleeping bag feels clammy and chill, but it warms quickly. It's good to be confined within the bag after so much movement. Good to be in the embrace again, a solid ground after so much water. I turn once, or twice, or three times. Discover the way my body fits best against the contours of the ground, and close my eyes, hoping that I might awaken in the night, to hear gentle rain against the fly of the tent, or the lapping of water against rock. That I might fall asleep a second time, a proper lullaby in my ears, bringing gentle dreams. Thank you very much. . I would be happy to entertain questions or comments. Yes?\r\n\r\n- Wonderful stuff.\r\n\r\n- Well, thank you. I've spent some time in Northern Minnesota-\r\n\r\n- Yes.\r\n\r\n- And that caused same feelings you described so eloquently. But last couple of trips, I was pretty startled sadly to see the effects of acid rain.\r\n\r\n- Yes.\r\n\r\n- Ripping throughout the lake there. I'm just wondering how you reconcile this great love for landscape, and this particular landscape, that sort of gentle voice that it calls up in you, with the knowledge that it's dying?\r\n\r\n- Yes, it is dying. When you enter the boundary waters, where this last piece was set, at all of the entry points among other things, you see signs, warning you. This is the largest, the largest wilderness preserve east of the Mississippi river, and it was the first national forest to be preserved as wilderness, matter of fact. So it has some historical significance that goes back some time. And you see signs warning you not eat the fish that you catch because they're so poisoned with metal contaminants, falling out of the rain, from the factories farther north in Canada and up the shore of Lake Superior that those aren't safe. I've said, I suppose, in a sense about my own work that what I'm really doing... Certainly, it's true of the prairies and it's true of that country increasingly too. Is what I'm really doing is the only thing I can think to do because I doubt the value of preaching. I read green eggs and ham to my children. Hundreds of times, I think, they loved it, but not even 200 readings of it say, could persuade either one of them to try a new kind of food. So I thought that proved conclusively that preaching doesn't work. So the alternative is to write what I imagine that I'm writing, which is in effect a kind of elegy. I think of myself as writing elegies, many poets write elegies to dead friends. And in a way, I suppose I'm writing elegies to dying landscapes in the hopes that we will eventually be moved to understand what we're doing and to move in the direction that the preaching might want to make us move anyway. One feels certainly ineffectual against this, but it is the best thing I know. My friend, my Minnesota friend, Carol Black gives me a hard time about this. She's a sort of cranky woman, as you may know and see. And she called up to give me a very hard time about something I had said recently because she thought I was being soft headed about it. So I pointed out to her what I really meant, and she called back and said, \"Oh, I, Oh, I'd forgotten. Yes, you're the, you're the person who always says everything the nice way. Well, I suppose your right, And I'm going to learn to do that one of these next decades, myself\". But it does tend to be my way in classrooms and in the landscape to want to sing praises and to make psalms and the hope that there's some effectiveness in that. I don't know. Yes?\r\n\r\n- I've a number of student here from a non-fiction seminar. Do you have any word of advice or inspiration for non-fiction writers, who want to get published?\r\n\r\n- Or who want to get published too. Well, yeah. You know, the economic facts, of course, of life. We ought to start there, if you're thinking about this. James Richard had it exactly right. He said, \"You can make a fortune in this country by being a writer, but you can't make a living at it\".","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2486/collection_resources/42942/file/115578#t=0.0,2740.512"}]}]},{"id":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2486/collection_resources/42942/file/115579","type":"Canvas","label":{"en":["Media

Really has its moment. When people are reading and responding to essays, when it's a good form for the moment. So if you're talents run in that direction, I think there are in fact now unusual opportunities to do this sort of work. Carol also says that essays are an inferior breed of human beings, she says, she's got this wonderful. She's always very precise with her numbers and she says, \"Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's 3000 times harder to write a short story than an essay\" Not 3001. I don't think that's true. In fact I think that the essay and the short story have great affinities and that you can do many of the same things in them. It's one of the exciting things to me about them. And I think that the short story and the essay happened to be the two forms which in the way are most demanding. There is room in longer pieces of work to make mistakes and not to be killed while you're doing it. I mean some room to explore a little and to have some tangents and so on that don't quite work. But the essay and the short story both demand the kind of precision of technique that it's really quite unforgiving. And for that reason, I think they're wonderfully challenging to write technically and fascinating in that sense. And then I think you really can say almost anything you want to in the form, so long as you aren't diluted as my students sometimes are by the notion that non-fiction is true. That nothing in it is made up. I get so frustrated with my freshmen. If you're a freshman don't be offended by this, but my freshmen think when they're writing non-fiction that they're tied to absolute fidelity. So this happened last week, I had an essay from a student and she said, \"And then the ball bounced into the flower bed. I can't remember now exactly what kinds of flowers it had in it, but some sort of flowers.\" And so I'd made a note in the margin and said, \"Well, choose some flowers.\" So then the next draft I got back said, \"The ball bounced into the flower bed and it had pansies or peonies, I can't decide which in it.\" So you have to work hard at this. Non-fiction is really a form of creative writing too, so long as you understand that I think it has every sort of opportunity and it's a wonderful thing to do. But don't expect to make a living at it. Yeah.\r\n\r\n- Great essays. As you were reading I noticed that the poetry in your essays and the rhythmic quality of the way you read it, maybe that's how in property, I really liked that--\r\n\r\n- Oh I appreciate that.\r\n\r\n- You prefaced your essays by saying that, writers don't choose their subjects, they're given to you.\r\n\r\n- Yeah.\r\n\r\n- Just expand on that a bit.\r\n\r\n- Well, I think of the most literal sort of way that was given my subject. This may seem like a strange story but I think this is true, that I grew up in a house without books except for the King James version of the Bible. And that Elizabethan rhythm I think may be present in a lot of what I write because that was the only writing I knew for a long time. And indeed I had memorized large sections of the Bible, it was a fundamentalist household and one did that. And the Sears and Roebuck catalog was the other one. You knew when the season was turning when only the shiny pages were left in the Sears and Roebuck catalog in the toilet. So those were my two forms of literature, so, and then I think the children who are deprived in this way of any access to writing find it especially mysterious, or at least I did. So when I went off to One Room Country School, I was eager in the most incredible way to learn how to read. And then the first day, the first day I was at the school, a new boy in the neighborhood flew into the library and carved a word in the floor. And none of us knew what the word was but it was so powerful the door had to be locked. The school board had to be summoned. And then the door wasn't open again until the floor had been sanded. And so I also had this inkling early on, that there's great power in words. That made me all the more eager. And on the day when the library door was finally unlocked, I rushed in at the first opportunity and surveyed the single bookshelf that was in the room. It was sitting on top of a bureau of some kind, and these are 12 foot ceilings in these schools, so although it was the only one, it was very high. I surveyed the book case for the first book I was going to read. And I saw it on the top shelf. It was the biggest book of them all. It it's a big fat green volume. And that was the one I knew I had to have. No way to reach it, but I got a chair and climbed up on the bureau. And still, still, I couldn't reach it. So like a monkey, I climbed up the shelves and got hold of this big green book for which I developed a passion. But when I got it in my hands, it turned out that I was top heavy. And so I and the green book, still clutched under my arm like a football, came crashing to the floor, smashing the chair to smithereens on the way. And then the whole school was in there to see whether I had died. And it was determined that I hadn't and that all of my parts still basically worked. And I had a very wise teacher. Her name was inevitably Mrs. Weckworth since I lived in one of those places where everybody was either a Weckworth or related to one. I was related and I had had Mrs. Weckworth as a teacher. But she was a very wise woman. She didn't scold me for being careless. She didn't lecture me about being nice in the library and not disrupting classes. She didn't point out to me that the book I had under my arm was one I couldn't possibly read. Indeed, it turned out to be one of her own books, one that she brought to the school. And so she gave it to me. And I carried it home and memorized parts of it, including all the wonderful illustrations in it. And it was of course, \"A Boys Book of Natural History.\" It seemed to me in some way that I had been set on a course then for which I might not be turned back easily. And then when I came back to the countryside and recognized in that landscape, something that moved me powerfully, I knew that it was a subject I could write about. That there was something there that I felt compelled to try to explain to myself at any rate, that bit of fate seemed confirmed. We're obsessed with things, all of us. There are puzzles that each one of us need especially to try to figure out. There are aches in our hearts that each of us privately need to alleviate. There are mysteries about people in the world that particularly attract us. And I think whatever we might do about it, those are going to be the things that find their way into whatever it is we write. Part because I do believe that old saw that all writing teachers use, but which happens to be true, that that writing is of course, when it's done at all well, an act of discovery. It's the thing that's wrong with all the writing that students have been taught. In my own classrooms we start by writing down all the things my students have been taught until the day when we meet about writing. And then if it's a nice day we go out onto the lawn and burn them all . And then we start over and I say, \"The first thing is, if you could make a three-point outline about the subject you set out to write about, then it's no good. I mean, stop right there and find something which is a mystery to you and write in the direction of an answer. And if you learn something, then you will have written something that perhaps is worth publishing.\" So in the sense that writing is a discovery, it does seem especially the case to me that what one writes is dictated in large ways by the nature of one's own heart, and by the qualities of one's own soul, and by the gaps in one's mind, I suppose. Does that make sense? Okay. Yeah.\r\n\r\n- In Iowa, 50 or 60 years ago, we had these great prairies that, as far as you could see was prairie. Now we don't. We have imported section of prairie here and an imported section there. In Minnesota, do you know, do they still have broad unbroken prairie as far as you can see, or is it broken up by the flowers?\r\n\r\n- They're pretty much gone. Third of Minnesota was prairie originally. About 1% of that is left. In some places, much less. Nobles County, where I have spent a lot of my time in Minnesota, which is a rural county, one of the hundred most rural counties in the country, has about 400,000 acres of land area. And it has 40 acres of prairie, so a 10th of a percent is left. In fact, in the sense of talking about an intact ecosystem, something that still functions in the way that the prairie ecosystem once did, there really is no prairie left. It is a landscape that has utterly vanished. And the reason, one of the reasons why this is an important thing to know I think, is that we now talk about the tropical rainforests disappearing, and this seems like an exaggeration. And then the prognosis is that maybe in 40 years or 50 years that that landscape will be gone if development continues at its current rate. But you know the tall grass prairie region of the North American continent was exactly the same size as the Amazon Rainforest Basin, almost to the square mile. And it took less than 50 years to plow it up. And in fact, the prairie was harder to destroy than the rainforest is because we had to invent a moldboard plow that was capable of breaking that tough prairie sod before we could even proceed. But you can burn a forest. So the experience of the prairie makes quite credible the forecast of people who worry about rainforests. And if for no other reason than that one, the lessons of the prairies is terribly important. But yeah, they're pretty much gone, they're are the foothills in Kansas, of course, which William Least-Heat Moon has just written a book about. And there's a little track in Northern Oklahoma, North-central Oklahoma, which is of some significant size still there. But basically in good condition, that's it. It's gone.\r\n\r\n- There's talk of building or getting a 5,000 acre tract and turning it back into prairie. Do you think that would be like a prairie that was original?\r\n\r\n- Well I think that's a wonderful thing to do. No, I don't think those things ever do end up being original. Part because so many of the parts have been lost. In a 10 acre, in a typical 10 acre plot of native prairie, for example, that has been un-destroyed there will be, that we have discovered and named, about 3000 species of insects. And many of them, very, highly plant specific. And the plant system itself doesn't prosper without that highly diverse populations of insects. So it's extremely difficult. And certainly you can't have prairie, the Nature Conservancy among others is now discovering this, you can't have a prairie which is likely to survive, it's not clear unless it's large enough so that it can be grazed. Because it's a ecosystem that evolved in conjunction with both grazing and fire. It's adapted to grazing. So the plot of land needs to be, at least that large. But I still think it's a wonderful and worthwhile thing to do. It's second best surely, but it ought to happen wherever it can, it seems to me. It might even happen in such places as the campuses of colleges and universities. It would be lovely if they restored patches of the prairie on them. We're working on, on that at St. Olaf's, but not succeeding so far . Anything else? Well, thank you so much. I've enjoyed being here with you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2486/collection_resources/42942/file/115579#t=0.0,937.224"}]}]}]}
