Byron F. Aspaas. Raised within the four sacred mountains of Dinétah. Byron’s first published work was included in Yellow Medicine Review and since then his writing has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies. His writing revisits the destruction of sacred land and engages his readers in a dialogue about preserving Diné culture and land. He uses imagery and persona to present explorations of language, landscape, and identity. Byron is faculty at San Juan College’s English Department and Western Colorado University’s Graduate Program in Creative Writing Program.
