Extractions: third catalog of Native American Literature James Welch A poet and novelist of Blackfoot-Gros Ventre heritage, Welch was one of the most important and accomplished Native American writers of the post-1968 generation. His first three books were published in the Harper and Row Native American Publishing Program and his third novel, Fools Crow , won the Los Angeles Times Award for Fiction for 1986. His book, Killing Custer , was a nonfiction treatment of the Battle of the Little Bighorn as viewed from the Indian perspective. My first poetry class from Hugo was a graduate-level seminar. Most of the other dozen students were older, some were married, some had had careers, others were at loose ends. I was one of the latter. After an undistinguished career as an undergraduate, I was accepted into graduate school (on probation) simply because I was a warm body and the fledgling program needed bodies to fill chairs. It didn't take me long to realize that I was in way over my head. I discovered I didn't know how to write the kinds of poems my classmates wrote. Up to then, my poems had rhymed and were filled with majestic mountains and wheeling gulls. I didn't know the poets they referred to. When Hugo, to provide an example, asked me to look up a poem by Yeats, I wrote "Look up Yates" in my notebook.
