Reading

1. Read about Momaday.
   • biography
   • The Way to Rainy Mountain
   • “I get a kick out of hearing people say this, but Momaday has been referred to as the Shakespeare of Native American letters. And I think that phrase captures something of his significance, in the sense of a baseline excellence — as a writer. He’s a person with a tremendously imagistic mind, but he loves the voice in what he does. He got his Ph.D. from Stanford and worked on Yvor Winters’s work. So, he studied poetry, and he studied it in a generation when the sound of it was very important — knowing how it sounded as well as it how it could be structured.” Kathryn Shanley
   • On Lesson 167 you’ll have to watch an hour-long video on Momaday. You may want to watch 20 minutes of it now so tomorrow won’t be so long.
