Author and poet Linda Hogan serves as the first writer-in-residence for the Chickasaw Nation, where she develops and leads creative writing programs for Chickasaw elders and children. Her latest novel is "People of the Whale," which tells the story of a Vietnam veteran torn between his war experience and his Native American community.
Hogan, who describes her writing as "organic" and claims she "reads like an anteater," characterizes her literary style as falling somewhere between a meditative essay and historical document. Her goal is cultural preservation: conserving the values and traditions of the Native American experience.
