Point of View Panel
The narrator’s relationship to the story is one of the most important decisions a writer makes in constructing a believable narrative. What are the disadvantages and advantages of each point of view, and how do you know which is best for your story? Award-winning author and professor David Bowles will help you grapple with how different choices allow your readers to get closer to the characters and events or create distance.

Award-winning author and activist David Bowles mines his own experiences to share ways in which writers can use their work, their platforms, and their publishing networks to promote the literary dignity of under-represented communities.

“IS THE FUTURE A WESTERN IDEA? How Language Shapes the Future”
Oh, I was intrigued by “A dream within a dream,” the tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, one of my favorite poets/writers of all time. But I searched your Website for this poem (which I assume IS a poem), but could not find it. Where can one find it? Or how is it available?
“A Dream within a Dream” is actually a poem by Poe. You can find it here: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-within-a-dream/
Oh, Angel, I just now realized… The event itself was named A Dream within a Dream. It featured several local poets either reading from Poe or reading poetry inspired by him.
I was interested on information about you reading to students in the valley on a particular date (Haunted Valley) during the evening. Please get back to me when you can
Laura, why don’t you email me at bowlesdo@gmail.com and we can talk about it?

We look forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day,
