CONTENT


NOTES

Type:
General
Note:
Robin Blaser's lecture begins with Fred Wah's question asking him what sources, references bibliographies, and knowledge does a writer need to know? Robin Blaser talks about particular sources an author could develop through; he talks a bit about William Carlos William and Ezra Pound; he also talks about the courses he took when he was younger, the teacher whom he had Greek lessons with, and the importance of foreign languages for him. He ends talking about current modern sources.
