Who owns the land? This question has dominated the history of the American West, where the interests and ambitions of governments and agencies, of capitalists and environmentalists, of new arrivals and old stakeholders often collide. Can there be common ground on issues so contentious that they have led to armed standoff? To discuss this important issue, Black Mountain Institute is proud to welcome a panel of extraordinary writers of diverse backgrounds and views. One of America’s most revered poets, Gary Snyder is a committed environmentalist and has been dubbed the "poet laureate of deep ecology." Timothy Egan is a New York Times columnist and author of the National Book Award-winning The Worst Hard Time, a history of the Dust Bowl. Economist and writer Terry L. Anderson, who coined the term "enviro-capitalism," is one of the foremost advocates of free market environmentalism. Moderator Virginia Scharff is a distinguished Western historian, author, and director of the Center for the Southwest at the University of New Mexico. Presented with the support of the Eleanor Kagi Foundation: A Lynn M. Bennett Legacy.

In this episode, Bennett Fellow Timothy O'Grady reads from his novel _I Could Read the Sky_. The novel is about an Irishman's migration to England in search of fieldwork and is illustrated with the work of _New Yorker_ staff photographer Steve Pyke.

Black Mountain Institute (BMI) Podcast #22: Lebanese novelist and critic Elias Khoury, author of _Gate of the Sun_ and _Yalo_, and Israeli novelist and playwright A.B. Yehoshua, author of _A Woman in Jerusalem_ and _The Lover_, discuss the intractable situation that exists among Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon. Although great admirers of one another's work, Khoury and Yehoshua do not necessarily agree politically. Nobel Laureate and BMI Senior Fellow Wole Soyinka moderates. PLEASE NOTE that at certain points during this event, moderator Wole Soyinka's microphone malfunctioned. Any periods of impaired sound during the podcast may be attributed to this technical problem.

Black Mountain Institute (BMI) Podcast #21: Black Mountain Fellows Tom Bissell, Donna Hemans, and Josip Novakovich discuss writing about places an author doesn't reside and the influence of national identity on the creative imagination. Bissell's acclaimed memoir, _The Father of All Things_, contrasts today's Vietnam with that of the 1970s; Hemans' provocative _River Woman_ shows Jamaica and New York in a fresh perspective; and Novakovich's darkly humorous _April Fool's_ Day paints an absurdist picture of the Balkans since 1948. BMI Associate Director Richard Wiley moderates.
