Page 2 Bowden Bulletin Humanities Events Sigma Tau Delta On December 5, 2014, Sigma Tau Delta inducted four new members into the society—Nadia Nolan, Mary Lucero, Dana Farr and Marissa Aguirre— and celebrated with a Southern-food themed dinner. However, the highlight of our year was attending the International Sigma Tau Delta Conference in Albuquerque from March 18-22. Over 800 students submitted work to the conference, and only 200 papers were accepted. STD President James Clark‘s original poetry ―Nothing but a Voice‖ was among the work selected for presentation. He read his work as part of a panel titled ―Health, Wellness, and the Body: Original Creative Writing,‖ which explored the meaning of living with ―invisible illness‖ in our society. His panel was moderated by our own Nadia Nolan. Students also attended workshops on publishing, preparing for graduate school, preparing for the job market, Jane Austin, Shakespeare, Harry Potter, Zombies, and many other exciting topics. Students also heard writers Gary Soto, Simon Ortiz, and Leslie Marmon Silko speak. They were especially excited to meet Silko, who pub- lished the first novel written by a female Native American, and get their copies of Ceremony signed by her. We also got to experience some fine cuisine in Albuquerque, as well as take a trip to the top of the Sandia Mountains on the Sandia Tram, where there was snow! We will be giving a roundtable discussion about our trip (with photos!) on Thursday, April 23 at 2 PM in the Seminar Room on the third floor of the SMB. Next year‘s conference is scheduled for March 2-5, 2016 in Minneapolis, MN, and we will also be discussing ideas about how to prepare for next year‘s conference and what to do to be able to at- tend. Please join us, and join Sigma Tau Delta! Contact Dr. Michaelann Nelson about joining!

And she adds, ―we have only one opportunity to dedicate a day to celebrating him because many of us will not be alive in th 2064 (the 500 anniversary of his birth) and none of us will be alive for the next anniversary of his ―Celebrating death (2116).‖ Shakespeare‖ April 22, 2016 Writing Contest Over 30 students entered work in five categories (Fiction, Poetry, Creative Nonfiction, Freshman Essay, and Academic Essay) for the reinvigorated WNMU Undergraduate Creative Writing Contest. $50 was given to first place winners in each category, and $25 was given to second place winners in each category.

Accordingly, code-switching has been a salient feature of many Chicano literary works. The simulta­ neous incorporation of both languages into poetry and other artistic forms is sometimes interpreted as an expression of the ambiguity permeating the historical evolution of this people. However, it can also be explained as part of the Chicanos' attempt to achieve cultural definition and autonomy in a con­ flicting reality. 131 II The author gratefully The historical context. acknowledges the support he received from the Institute for Ethnic Studies in the Any brief reference to Chicano poetry is bound to United States, University of refer the uninformed reader almost exclusively to Washington.

Until recently, the general contention, or at least the assumption on the part of many critics and literary historians, was that before the 1960s there was no literature written by people of Mexican descent in the United States. Nothing could be farther from the truth. While it is clear that the Chicano movement came to foment and revitalize the artistic endeavors of Chicanos during the last twenty years, subsequent research has demonstrated that the production of literature is hardly a new activity for this group.

In the following four sessions he will focus on the resurgence of Mexican American literature that began in the mid-1960s and that has rapidly burgeoned over the past six decades. Included in our readings will be the narrative fiction (novels and short stories), poetry and autobiographical works of authors such as Rudolfo Anaya, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Luis Urrea, Helena María Viramontes, Sandra Cisneros, Gary Soto, Alberto “Tito” Ríos and Juan Felipe Herrera (a recent U.S. poet laureate). In the last session Tatum will introduce a younger generation of Mexican American writers including Manuel Muñoz, Kristin Valdez Quade, Casandra López and Ada Limón. Dr. Charles Tatum is Professor Emeritus of Spanish at The University of Arizona. He is the author of a monographic study Chicano Literature (1982), published in translation in Mexico in 1986.

    >> From the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. >> This is Francisco Macias [phonetic] at the Library of Congress. Late September will mark the 12th year that booklovers of all ages have gathered in Washington, DC, to celebrate the written word at the Library of Congress National Book Festival. The festival, which is free and open to the public, will last two days this year, Saturday, September 22nd and Sunday, September 23rd, 2012. The festival will take place between 9th and 14th Streets on the National Mall, rain or shine. Hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, the 22nd, and from noon to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, the 23rd. For more details, visit www.loc.gov/bookfest. And now, it is my pleasure to introduce the award-winning American writer, Sandra Cisneros whose forthcoming book, "Have You Seen Marie" is a moving frame story of sorts that is lovingly embroidered and features a visual and textual montage of portraits that, as Sandra puts it so well, tell another story about the people of San Antonio, of cultures colliding and creating something new, folks with blonde hair, a German last name, a Spanish first name inherited from a Mexican grandmother several generations back, Tex-Mexicans with Arab and indigenous features and a Scottish surname, ultra-devout Catholics with Sephardic roots, stories the Alamo forgets to remember. Her book, "Have You Seen Marie" will be available for purchase on October 2nd. Sandra Cisneros is best known for her first novel, "The House on Mango Street," which has become an essential work of the ever-evolving American literary cannon in middle schools, high schools, universities, and other institutions of higher learning throughout the United States.
