Episode 65: Defining an Oklahoma Author

Oklahoma has always had a rich history of artists and writers. But what does it mean to be an Oklahoma author? Is it being born here, or having family here, or maybe writing about Oklahoma in their work? This month, we’re exploring what it means to be an Oklahoma author by highlighting interviews from our Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors project. We’ll hear from authors as they describe their work and connection to Oklahoma, and later we’ll hear from Doctor Emily Blackshear as she discusses what an Oklahoma author looks like and how authors tell the truth about the places they live.
