| Local Note |
Can no longer install CD-ROM. However, you can watch the documentary "Risk of Spirit" and listen to the audio by opening the folders called AUDIO and MOVIES. Click on the individual chapter files CH1.MOV-CH7.MOV to watch the documentary, which does not appear to be available elsewhere. Audio files are not labeled, so you have to listen to see whether it is a poem or an interview clip. Essays in the table of contents above are reprinted from journal articles and books--please see a librarian for help locating a particular essay. |
