Description
Program Description
This thoughtful piece gives an intimate impression of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in 1971. It was produced by Vermont Educational Television, the predecessor to today's Vermont PBS, in cooperation with Middlebury College. Although the film itself is undated we've determined that it's very likely from 1971 because that's the only session when both Isaac Asimov and Ezekiel Mphahlele were on the faculty at the same time. Many members of the poetry, fiction, and non-fiction staff at Middlebury appear throughout the program in interviews, as well as speaking and reading at the conference.
