JAMES BOGAN is a professor of art, a poet, and a filmmaker, who has taught at the Missouri
University of Science & Technology in Rolla since 1969. His Ph.D. research at the University of Kansas on
William Blake drew him simultaneously into art and literature. Since then he has integrated various disciplines
into courses like "Poets and Painters" and "Script to Screen." He has team-taught courses in the Renaissance,
the French Revolution, and Western Civilization. Representing S&T the Missouri-London Program, he taught
Art History and a specialized course in Blake in London during the winter semester of 1995. In 2002 he taught
Michaelangelo Meets the 20th Century at Teikyo University-Holland. The MS&T Film Festival, which he
initiated in 1975, has received statewide recognition for its programs and regularly features visits by eminent
filmmakers such as Les Blank, James Broughton, Jimmie Briggs, and Ken Burns. In 1993 Professor Bogan
received a Faculty Excellence Award in recognition of his contributions in teaching, research, and service; and
in 1997 he was named a "Curators Teaching Professor," and subsequently received the "Governor's Award for
Excellence in Teaching." In 2005 he was the recipient of the President s Award for Outstanding Teaching
from the four campuses of the University of Missouri System. In the spring of 2010 he was invited to address
the faculty and students of the Beijing Institute of Foreign Studies about Blake, filmmaking, and poetry.
His scholarly publications include articles on William Blake and an experimental anthology, Sparks of
Fire (North Atlantic Press, 1982). Scholarship, poetry, musical scores, and graphics comprise this 480-page
volume on the modern response to Blake. The Library Journal chose it as "one of the best books from a small
press in 1982." The New York Times noted that his casebook on Les Blank's film Burden of Dreams (North
Atlantic Press, 1984) was "a fine collection of essays."
In 1986 Professor Bogan lectured at the Federal University of Para in Brazil under the sponsorship of
the Fulbright Commission. In addition to teaching courses in literature, he shot T-Shirt Cantata, a poetic
documentary about the people of the Amazon. The film was supported by a grant from the Independent
Production Fund and subsequently won a CINE Eagle Award. It has been screened at numerous international
film festivals to "represent the United States and American cinematography." The Hammock Variations, about
life, art, and hammocks in the Amazon followed in 1996 and was awarded an Award of Recognition at the
Missouri Video Festival and was voted the Best Short Feature at the 3rd Annual Brazilian Film Festival in
Belem. The Adventures of the Amazon Queen (2007) completes the Brazilogy, which he toured around Brazil in
2006. . His fluency in Portuguese is sufficient to communicate on the street and in the classroom. The
opportunity to collaborate with the poets and filmmakers in Belem continues to draw him back to Brazil--14
times since 1985, about three years stacked end on end. Translations from Max Martins' books 60/35, The Road
to Marahu, and To Have Somewhere to Go, have appeared in a number of literary journals. The broadside
"What Is the Mystery of Poetry?" was selected for inclusion in the Exquisite Corpse Reader (City Lights, 1989).
His Trance-Arrows / Flechas de Transe, in a bi-lingual edition was published by Timberline Press in 2002 with
Portuguese translations by Walkyria Magno e Silva.
Bogan's prose and poetry have been published widely in magazines like River Styx, New Letters, and
Walking. "Chert" and "Mrs. Franz," poems from Trees in the Same Forest (Cauldron Press, 1976), have been
anthologized. He says, "Actually, radio is more accurate to poetry than a book." Public Radio has broadcast
many of his works and several have aired on All Things Considered, Market Place, and The Savvy Traveler.
"An Idle Evening's Entertainment," a story of canyon-climbing in Utah, was cited as one of the "Notable Essays
of 1988" in The Best American Essays--1989. Hammock Variations published in New Letters was cited as one
of the Notable Essays in 2010 in The Best American Essays 2010. He has been invited to give poetry
1
readings at dozens of locations, including universities in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Brazil, and at
venues ranging from grammar schools to taverns. Ozark Meandering, a book of maximal poems and prose, was
published by Timberline Press in 1999 in a letterpress edition and is known as "the last hand-made book of the
20th century." In 2001 he was awarded a month long residency at the Cill Rialaig Artist s Retreat in Kingdom
of Kerry,Ireland, for the purpose of writing something. He did and it is now a disk-book entitled: Made in Cill
Rialaig. He was invited to return to do something in 2005 and he did. A 75th anniversary issue of New Letters
features two of his essays on filmmaking in Brazil and the DVD BRAZILOGY.
Tom Benton's Missouri, a half-hour documentary, was completed in 1992. He produced, directed, and
edited this film about Benton's most ambitious mural in collaboration with Frank Fillo. He shares a screen credit
with Bob Priddy for the script. The film has won numerous awards including "Best Short Feature" at the Great
Plains Film Festival. He also produced the Tom Benton's Missouri Study Disk, an in-depth compilation of
materials on computer disk for classroom use by high school teachers. A re-mastered version in High Definition
with a new study guide is scheduled for launch in the Fall of 2011.. Another documentary about artists, Chalk
up Another, received certificates of honorable mention at the Missouri Video Festival and at the National Fine
Arts Video Competition in 1995. Other video productions include the poetry-video Dreams of the Dark River
(1998); Evening Songs of the Fishermen (1998) about a Sung Dynasty scroll painting; Eve and Adam (2001), a
video of Edwina Sandys book; and The Making of Millennium Arch (2001) which documents the creation of a
colossal sculpture on the MS&T campus. NAKED BRONZE: Louis Smart Sculptor in the Ozarks (2009) is a
half-hour documentary about an artistic son of Rodin, who makes stunning human figure sculptures. This film
won a Telly Award and was featured at the Kansas City Film Fest in 2011. Man vs. Tree, a controversial
documentary, made in 2011 features an animated prelude produced in collaboration with Hebei University in
China.
In 2002 he was invited to construct the three-ton Celtic Double Spiral Space Centering Vehicle for the
Third Exposition of European Fantastic Art in Eben-Emael, Belgium, and an American version on the campus
of Northern Michigan University. Other earth sculptures can be found in Goias (Brazil), Mackinac Island,
Michigan; and Rolla, Missouri. To help celebrate their 10th anniversary a Micro-Celtic Double Spiral Space
Centering Vehicle was solicited and is on display at the European Garden of Fantastic Art in 2009-2010.
The Missouri Arts Council has appointed him to its Media Advisory Panel six times. He has been a
project director, evaluator, and grant consultant for the Missouri Humanities Council. In 2000 he served as
"Creative Advisor" to the monumental red granite Millennium Arch sculpture group by Edwina Sandys.
Professor Bogan has served as president of the Missouri Partners of the Americas and has coordinated
statewide tours of Brazilian Naive Art in 1989, 1992, and 1996. In 1998 he curated Amazing Amazonians and
Their Beautiful Boats, an exhibition of river photographs and artifacts and in 2000 Cauldrons of Creation:
Poetry and Designs of Max Martins. Both exhibitions toured Missouri and beyond. A Kellogg Foundation
Fellowship in International Development took him to Latin America several times and led to a Portuguese
language version of Tom Benton's Missouri.
His current projects include Bound to Brazil, a multi-media Brazil Book; Virtuous Amusements and
Wicked Demons, a book of poems about art; an HD remastering of Tom Benton s Missouri; and the exploration
of the Ozarks by foot, bicycle, and kayak.
