W hat else can you do but to tell about the travails and hardships, fears and violence, the joys and discoveries and affirmations, and the mysteries and revelations when you tell the story about your land, people, heritage, and your innermost self. Because that's the way you've known your life, that's the way you know how to tell the story, the truth. Red Dirt is such a story, and Roxanne Dunbar affirms this by acknowledging and expressing such a truth about her life--and we come to realizesuch a story is always a truth about oneself, whether you tell it as a historian, poet, or storyteller.
