Interview with Dagoberto Gilb

Gilb’s first publication was a small
press chapbook out of El Paso, Winners
on the Pass Line (1985), which came
after he won his first literary prize,
the James D. Phelan Award from the
San Francisco Foundation. The book’s
first notice was heard on National
Public Radio’s “All Things Considered”
in a review by Alan Cheuse. Gilb went
on to earn more recognition, including
a National Endowment for the Arts
Fellowship and the Texas Institute
of Letters’ Dobie Paisano Fellowship.
