Continuing her father’s legacy, New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman reveals insights into her process and characters. “I write about real places and I try to go there and spend some time there and see what ideas come to me or see what I hear. Are there birds, are there bugs, is there wind in the grass? Is there highway noise? Maybe there’s a train track far away.” Albuquerque’s Doris Fields found that self-expression allowed her to share the importance and beauty of her African-American heritage. “Find yourself. Find you. One of the things I hope with the art is that people will be able to find their own beauty.” “To me poetry is like breathing.”—Margaret Randall. Renowned feminist poet and social activist Margaret Randall shares a poem and her thoughts on poetic language. “Will that person tell the story of poor Nicaraguan peasants, made rich by art and revolution?”—Margaret Randall, poetry reading.
