Publisher's Summary:
You can tell that Paulette Jiles loves oral history from the colorful, quirky anecdotes she relays in this interview. Hear the haunting family story of "the rose baby" and how Jiles once wrote a poem while barricaded in an office as the rest of the town evacuated to escape a forest fire. In this amiable and wide-ranging conversation, the Canadian poet and novelist moves effortlessly from life to literature and back again. She eloquently defends the tradition of oral storytelling against what she calls the 150-year "literary fashion" of realism, and explains the aesthetic principles behind her chosen role as tale-teller and modern fabulist.
