This audiovisual recording from March 19, 1981 as part of the 12th annual UND Writers Conference: “Voices,” features Esther Broner, Ntozake Shange, and Richard Wilbur forming the panel “Where is that Voice Coming From.” The panelists discuss class and race difference in voice, one-sided and two-sided argumentation, the effect of conflict on voice, political writing, sensuality and sexuality in writing, agency and power structures, memory and recitation, vernacular American art/folk music and popular music, the experience of publication, and mediating transgression in writing.
Moderated by Michael Beard.
Note: part of the recording is distorted
