Interview with Kevin Hearle : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Kevin Hearle (AB English, 1980) describes transferring to Stanford from Claremont and shares highlights of student life in the late 1970s, recalling residential life in Stern Hall, watching Star Trek, an alligator dance, and the dorm musical. Hearle also speaks about creative writing classes at Stanford, including the graduate poetry workshop that he was admitted to as a junior and facilitating a campus reading by Wallace Stegner that led to Stegner reconnecting with Stanford students. He describes student traditions and his work with the student literary publication Sequoia and radio station KZSU, where he interviewed Donald Kennedy and others on his news show. The interview ends with Hearle sharing the realization that he need not have tried to do everything while at Stanford, as well as a story about inadvertently using language that may have been harmful to his Asian American roommate.
