William Stafford's Un-National Boundary: Literature of the Forty-Ninth Parallel William Stafford wrote, This is the field where the battle did not happen, Where the unknown soldier never died. This is the field where grass joined hands, Where no monument stands, And the only thing heroic is the sky. Several authors have made the borderlands of the northern plains their focus. Major works include, Bennett, John W. and Seena B. Kohl. Settling the Canadian-American West, 1890-1915: Pioneer Adaptation and Community Building . Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1995. Bennett, an anthropologist, studies the"remembered past" of northeastern Montana, southeastern Alberta, and southwestern Saskatchewan (which includes the areas treated by Sharp and Stegner below). Bennett largely disregards the international border (recognizing only certain differences of degree in national character) and treats the area as one last frontier, calling it "the Canadian-American Heartland." This is Bennett's third and most comprehensive book about life on the northern plains. Sharp, Paul F.

The Friends of the Library in KCK present the Presented posthumously to William Stafford April 9, 1994 Nowthese few more words, and then I’m gone: Tell everyone just to remember their names, and remind others, later, when we find each other. Tell the little ones to cry and then go to sleep, curled up where they can. And if any of us get lost, if any of us cannot come all the wayremember: there will come a time when all we have said and all we have hoped will be all right. -William Stafford from A Message from the Wanderer Reprinted by permission of the Estate of William Stafford William Stafford (1914 – 1993) was born in Hutchinson, Kansas.

[1057] Atavism Title : Atavism Poet : William Stafford Date : 24 May 2002 Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq joyh@ Atavism 1 Sometimes in the open you look up where birds go by, or just nothing, and wait. A dim feeling comes you were like this once, there was air, and quiet; it was by a lake, or maybe a river you were alert as an otter and were suddenly born like the evening star into wide still worlds like this one you have found again, for a moment, in the open. 2 Something is being told in the woods: aisles of shadow lead away; a branch waves; a pencil of sunlight slowly travels its path. A withheld presence almost speaks, but then retreats, rustles a patch of brush. You can feel the centuries ripple generations of wandering, discovering, being lost and found, eating, dying, being born. A walk through the forest strokes your fur, the fur you no longer have. And your gaze down a forest aisle is a strange, long plunge, dark eyes looking for home. For delicious minutes you can feel your whiskers wider than your mind, away out over everything.

88. An Unknown Treasure Among Us: The Work Of Lewis & Clark's Own William Stafford An Unknown Treasure Among Us The Work of Lewis Clark’s Own WilliamStafford. By Adam Cornell. A man of uncommon curiosity, creativity http://www.lclark.edu/~lotl/volume5issue5/stafford.html

April 1999 Last Dance Congratulations, Erich Pedestrian Safety NALSA ... Poetry Notes An Unknown Treasure Among Us: By Adam Cornell Stafford lived in Kansas most of his early life. During WWII he refused to participate in the war effort. Instead of fighting in foreign lands or supporting the military at home, he was sent to a conscious objector camp for the duration of the war. It was soon after the war that he came to the Northwest to begin a quiet life of writing and teaching. His life would influence writers, scholars, and students well beyond the tall pines of Oregon. I doubt many of you have ever heard of our unknown treasure. Unfortunately, the dedication of the Stafford Room was not widely publicized, and only a handful of people were invited. It is too bad that the dedication was not open to the public in general and the law school community in particular. The often sterile study of law requires occasional encounters with creative language that call on us to consider not only the sacred constellations of Truth and Beauty, but also our everyday experiences and observations. Stafford always managed to do all this in a single poem with force and poignancy. Take, for example, the following poem
