Oral Tradition of John Trudell

A funny thing happened in my poetry class. My poetry professor told us to write up a paper and presentation on present day great American poets. I decided to present John Trudell and my professor had never heard of him. She tried to talk me out of it, but the more I looked at her “alternative poets” the more I felt compelled to go back to John Trudell. Thus... I have finished my presentation and will be presenting tomorrow (April 15th).

Thus the tradition of Oral Teaching continues. I find irony and joy in this.
