Listening to Literature  
The auditory experience of literature. Oral tradition in the Acoma Pueblo community. "To Plant Again" and "To Exculpate Sorrow," two poems by Simon Ortiz, a member of the Acoma Pueblo community. How literature on the radio evolved from poetry readings to 1930s radio dramas to contemporary experimental montages of voices. Pleasures of physical books versus the convenience of books on tape, including how reading a printed book stimulates the imagination.
