     Usually the Literature Advisory Panel of the National Endowment for the Arts meets in Washington DC.

     July 1975 they met in Big Sur, a particularly majestic section of the California coast. Not a bad place to meet and discuss the majesty of literature and how to encourage it.

      Some of the members of the panel are pictured here. Links below tell more about the pictured author-members.
