Hear the haunting family story of "the rose baby" and how Jiles once wrote a poem while barricaded in an office as the rest of the town evacuated to escape a forest fire. In this amiable and wide-ranging conversation, the Canadian poet and novelist moves effortlessly from life to literature and back again. She eloquently defends the tradition of oral storytelling against what she calls the 150-year "literary fashion" of realism, and explains the aesthetic principles behind her chosen role as tale-teller and modern fabulist.
