In 1984, Jack Loeffler produced a radio series entitled "Southwest
Sound Collage." His primary listener was his great friend author
Edward Abbey who said, "Loeffler, this radio series should be a
book." Thus, "Headed Upstream" first appeared in 1989 shortly after
Abbey's death. The challenging interviews that appear herein
(Edward Abbey, Andrew Weil, John Nichols, Stewart Udall, and Gary
Snyder, to name a few) reflect many points of view from anarchist
to Marxist, from environmental to philosophical, from Beat to
historical. Each is highly individual and all reflect deep
consideration for the myriad factors that have shaped our milieu.
In 2009, Loeffler's close friend Gary Snyder said, "This book
should be re-published. It's important." Indeed, it is an important
presentation of human consciousness at its best. Jack Loeffler and
his wife Katherine live near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a writer,
aural historian, radio producer, sound collage artist, and
lecturer. He has worked extensively with indigenous and traditional
cultures throughout the American West, Mexico and beyond. His books
include "La Musica de los Viejitos: The Hispano Folk Music of the
Rio Grande del Norte"; "Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey";
"Survival Along the Continental Divide: An Anthology of
Interviews"; and "Healing the West: Voices of Culture and Habitat."
He has produced over three hundred documentary programs for public
radio, co-produced or otherwise collaborated on documentary films,
written scores of articles, and produced sound collages for many
institutions including the Smithsonian Institution, the National
Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Camino Real
International Heritage Center, and the New Mexico History Museum at
the Palace of the Governors. He is a project director for The Lore
of the Land, Inc., a 501c3 organization founded by his late friend
Lee (Mrs. Stewart) Udall. He was awarded a 2008 New Mexico
Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Edgar Lee Hewett
Award for Outstanding Service to the Public by the New Mexico
Historical Society, and in 2009 was honored as a Santa Fe Living
Treasure.
