Larry Woiwode: North Dakota’s Literary Voice | Bismarck News
Description
From the windswept plains of North Dakota to the pages of The New Yorker, Larry Woiwode’s life was a testament to literary grit and regional pride. Born in 1941, this celebrated author wove his childhood landscapes into unforgettable fiction, earning acclaim early on—and a decades-long partnership with The New Yorker. Beyond writing, he shaped future storytellers as a professor at SUNY, leaving an indelible mark on education. Honored with the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Award of Merit in 1995, he became North Dakota’s poet laureate that same year—and earlier, won the Roughrider Award in 1992. Woiwode passed in 2022 in Bismarck, but his voice lingers: quiet, profound, and deeply rooted in the soul of the land he loved.
