HULTCENTER Tickets 687 A Hull Center Hi-gul Production Book awards honor Oregon authors By Ingrid Petersen Emerald Reporter Until recently many of Oregon's authors have remain ed unrecognized and unap preciatd outside of literary circles. The Oregon Institute of Literary Arts, however, is changing this with the recent establishment of the first Oregon book awards ever to recognize Oregon authors, said Ed Bingham. University history professor emeritus. The institute, which is in its first year of existence, hopes to establish an annual tradition of awarding outstanding Oregon authors, said Bingham, who participated in the first Oregon Book Awards Ceremony and Celebration in October. Two University professors and a University-sponsored magazine were the recipients of three of the five awards presented during the ceremony. John Haislip. University English professor and director of the department's creative writing program, received the institute's award for poetry for his recently published collec tion of poems entitled “Seal Rock." George Belknap, University editor emeritus, received the C.E.S. Wood award for his con tributions to the state's history, most notably his book “Oregon Imprints: 1845-1870." Nor thwest Review, a literary magazine received the Stewart H. Holbrook Award for signifi cant contributions to Oregon literature. One thousand dollars and a silver metal accompanied each award. Awards for outstanding non fiction and fiction literary achievements also were presented to Barry l.opez of Finn Rock and Russell Working of Grants Pass. "Eugene came out very well,” said Bingham, who presented Belknap's award "It was a very important and significant event,” said John Witte, editor of Northwest Review, who received the magazine's award. "It was statewide and (people from) Eugene walked away with almost all of the major awards,” he said. Northwest Review, partially funded by the University, acts as a "forum for experimental writing and writings of young authors who may not yet have achieved a reputation.” Witte said. "This award is one of the most significant awards the magazine has won — it's a well deserved honor," he added. Haislip said he also is very honored. "It is the first book award in poetry from the in stitute 1 appreciate recognition that the Oregon literary com munity has given me.” The nature of the award, which requires that it not be restricted to current events, pleases him, Belknap said, who has been part of the Univeristy community since 1922 when he entered as a freshman. "1 was somewhat surprised at the $1,000. I was very pleased with the award of course,” Belknap said. Belknap's contribution (''Oregon Imprints: 1845-1870”) is in an area that is sort of esoteric. It is on the history of Oregon imprints and it is culturally, socially and politically important to the state, Bingham said. "Seal Rock,” a 10-year pro ject for Haislip, is a "book simp ly unmatched by most of Haislip’s contemporaries.” ac cording to George Vern’s criti que of Haislip’s book fouqd in the recent edition of Northwest Review. ”1 have never been ambitious in terms of the politics poetry,” said Haislip referring to writing poetry for political purposes. "1 have taken my time and the book is finely crafted,” Haislip said. He authored another col lection of poems entitled "Not Every Year." publshed in 1971. "Seal Rock” is about the town and people of Seal Rock. Haislip said, lie is a part-time resident of that coastal town, located 15 miles south of Newport. Et al.
