DIANE GLANCY: READING, LECTURE AND BOOK SIGNING
DIANE GLANCY Cherokee poet, fiction writer, essayist, playwright, and screenwriter, was the winner of the 2009 Expressive Arts Grant at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Some of her many other noted awards include the National Endowment for the Arts, the Sundance Screenwriting Fellowship, the Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry, the Juniper Prize and the Emily Dickinson Poetry Prize. Born and raised in Kansas City, Mo., Glancy, who received her M.F.A. in 1988 from the University of Iowa, was a Professor of English at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minn., until her retirement in 2009. Her poetry, novels, short stories, plays, essays and films center on the Native American experience. In her most recent book of eleven books of poetry, Asylum in the Grasslands, Glancy “explores the history of loss” of the Cherokee community. Her last three novels trace the history of three Native women. Stone Heart: A Novel of Sacajawea, the first novel in this series, was written as a result of her stays in the summers of 2000-2001 near the Missouri in North Dakota. The Reason for Crows and Pushing the Bear are the other two novels in the series. Presently Glancy is working on a film The Dome of Heaven, an adaptation of Flutie, one of her novels.
